This is a great song from Marcy Playground, and I didn't see it
tabbed anywhere so I'm giving it a shot.

Lyrics:
Long long ago in China I'm told
To England was traded som tea
And so sealed the fate
In pieces of eight
All England and all of the world
Yeah.......Poppies
When soon his majesty sent soldiers and thieves
To India searching for gold
Instead from the ground
Some magic they found
Something far better I'm told
Yeah.......Poppies
Yeah.......Poppies
And now this story told from days of our own
When gossamer doggies ran ran
They'd patiently wait
With pieces of eight
So everybody could smile..one more time
Yeah.......Poppies
Yeah.......Poppies

, this is my first official tab, but I'm pretty sure it's
correct. please correct anything you might find wrong.
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.
