Long Ago, Far Away chords and lyrics - THE BROTHERS FOUR

Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
[D]To preach of peace and brotherhood
Oh, what might be the cost
A man he did it long ago
And they hung him on a cross
Long [A]ago, far [D]away
[G]Those things don't [D]happen nowadays

[Verse 2]
[D]
The chain of slaves they
dragged the ground
With heads and hearts hung low
But that was during Lincoln's time
And that was long ago
Long [A]ago, far [D]away
[G]Things like that [D]don't happen

[Verse 3]
no more nowadays
[D]
Well, in war times they fought in blaze
The whole world let its blood
Men's bodies rotted on the ground
And graves were made in mud
Long [A]ago, far [D]away
[G]Things [D]like [G]that [D]don't
happen no more nowaday

[Verse 4]
One man [D]died of a knife so sharp
One man died from a bullet of a gun
One man died of a broken heart
To see the lynching of his son
Long [A]ago, far [D]away
[G]Things like that [D]don't happen

[Verse 5]
no more nowaday
[D]
Gladiators killed themselves
Was during the Roman times
People cheered with bloodshot grins
As minds and eyes went [A]blind
Long ago, far [D]away
[G]Things like that [D]don't

[Verse 6]
happen no more nowaday
[D]
To preach of peace and brotherhood
Oh, what might be the cost
A man he did it long ago
And they hung him on a cross
Long [A]ago, far [D]away
[G]Things like that [D]don't happen
no more [G]nowadays[D]
Do they?
