G                 C 
Long ago and far away 
C                      G 
In my old common labor shoes 
G                              D 
I turned the world all which a way 
D                         G 
Just because you asked me to 
 
 
G                  C 
Like unto no other feel 
C                     G 
Simple love is simple true 
G                          D 
There's no end to what I'd do 
D                         G 
Just because you asked me to 

                        C 
Let the world call me a fool 
C                                   G 
But if things are right with me and you 
G                                D   
That's all that matters and I'll do 
D                   G 
Anything you ask me to 
 
 
Instrumentals 
 
 
Knowing how much I love you 
And after all that I've been through 
I'd turn and walk away from you 
Just because you asked me to
