"Lawng, lawng ago...."
A E A E
Long, long ago, in China I'm told
A E B
To England was traded some tea
A E A E
And so sealed the fate in pieces of eight
A E B
All England, and all of the world
(riff 1) B
Yeah........poppies
A E A E
When soon his majesty sent soldiers and thieves
A E B
To India searching for gold
A E A E
Instead, from the ground some magic they found
A E B
Aww, something far better I'm told
(riff 1) B
Yeah.......poppies
(riff 1) B
Yeah.......poppies
(instrumental--play through chords of one verse)
A E A E
And now, this story told from days of our own
A E B
When gossamer doggies ran ran
A E A E
They'd patiently wait, with pieces of eight
A E B
So everybody could smile
(riff 1) B
One more time.........poppies
(riff 1) B E
Yeah.........poppies
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official MARCY PLAYGROUND tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
