POPPIES
BY: MARCY PLAGROUND
TRANSCRIBED BY: MIKE HARROD (m.harrod@worldnet.att.net)
This is a neat sounding song that is really easy to play
(right up my alley!!)
Practice the timing of the intro single notes and attack
them sharp and hard to get that deep buzz tone. Have Fun!
(Please send any corrections or comments to:

Will someone please post some PAT TRAVERS TAB !!!

REPEAT AS NECESSARY
OLGA RULES!!
Lyrics:
Long long ago in China
I'm told
To England was traded
some 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

| Exactly Zepher, but it was hardly a war... much more like a massacre. The Chinese didn't have a chance against the British navy. The British were just ticked off that they imported so many goods from China, but it of course couldn't export cuz no one wanted the western crap. Great Britain forced opium into the Chinese marketplace by firepower. And we wonder why they've been a little annoyed by us westerners. | |

| I like this song, not only because it's really lighthearted, but it tells an extremely inane story about the British discovering Opium. And the UK was never the same since. :) | |

| yeah really, someone likes his opium. is anyone else reminded of the presidents of the united states (the band, not the people) when they listen to this song? just a random, original, happy-tune type song with repetitive lyrics. great riffs and shows off the lead voice well. | |
