A long_, long_ time ago,

Them good ole' boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye, singin'

wouldn't play_____
         Em                 D

the lovers cried and the poets dreamed
    C     G        Am            C                     D
But not a word was spoken__, the church bells all were broken____
        G         D/F#  Em             Am7                      C
And the three men I__ admire the most, the Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost
