[G]Tell me the tales that to me were so dear,
[D]Long, long ago, [G]long, long ago,
[']Sing me the songs I delighted to hear,
[D]Long, long ago, long a-[G]go,
[D]Now you are come all my [G]grief is removed,
[D]Let me forget that so [G]long you have roved.
[']Let me believe that you love as you loved,
[D]Long, long ago, long a-[G]go.

[D]Long, long ago, [G]long, long ago.
[']Ah, yes, you told me you'd never forget,
[D]Long, long ago, long a-[G]go.
[D]Then to all others, my [G]smile you preferred,
[D]Love, when you spoke, gave a [G]charm to each word.
[']Still my heart treasures the phrases I heard,
[D]Long, long ago, long a-[G]go.

[G]Tho' by your kindness my fond hopes were raised,
[D]Long, long ago, [G]long, long ago,

[D]Long, long ago, long, long a-[G]go,
But, [D]by long absence your [G]truth his been tried,
[D]Still to your accents I [G]listen with pride,
[']Blessed as I was when I sat by your side.
[D]Long, long ago, long a-[G]go.
