                             Long Ago And Far Away
				James Taylor

	      Dm                   G        C
	      Long ago a young man sits and plays his waiting game
                  Am                 Am7              Dm             G
	      But things are not the same it seems as in such tender dreams
              Dm                     G          C   Cm7    F
	      Slowly passing sailing ships and Sunday afternoon
              Am                 Am7            Dm                  G7
	      Like people on the moon I see are things not meant to be

	      CHORUS:     Cm7                   G
			  Where do those golden rainbows end
                          Cm7          G
			  Why is this song so sad
                          Cm7                      G
			  Dreaming the dreams I've dreamed my friend
                          Cm7        G
			  Loving the love I love to...

              Dm                    G          C          Cm7   F
              Love is just a word I heard when things are being said
              Am              Am7              Dm               G
	      Stories my poor head has told me cannot stand the cold
              Dm                             G        C        Cm7    F
	      And in between what might have been and what has come to pass
                Am                         Dm              G7
	      A misbegotten guess alas and bits of broken glass

	      CHORUS:   Cm7                  G
			Where do your golden rainbows end
                        Cm7                G
                        Why is this song I sing so sad
                        Cm7                   G
			Dreaming the dreams I dream my friend
                        Cm7        G              Cm7        G
	                Loving the love I love to love... to love..
