As recorded by Elton John (1968 recording from the 2021 Album REGIMENTAL SGT. ZIPPO) [Intro] G Em C D G [Verse 1]
G                D
I'm very low but not too dim

            D7               G
I can still see the faces of you and him

    Bm                 Em
I remember well how it used to be

      A          D
You remember too obviously
[Chorus]
  G                                C            G
Remember when, remember when I was Tealby Abbey then

       Bm           Em         A                D
It was not so long ago maybe a hundred years or so

           F      C
When I was Tealby Abbey

         G
That's a long long time ago

           F      C
When I was Tealby Abbey

         G
That's a long long time ago
[Verse 2]
G                              D
When the clock stopped and the rocks dropped

                               G
And the gravel started giving away

      Bm                Em
I can still recall when we were small

    A                 D
But oh what a fateful day
[Verse 3]
   G                  D
In younger times, the children climb

                 G
Up and down your walls

      Bm                   Em
And a curse on the day the fates will say

     A            D
When Tealby Abbey falls
[Chorus]
  G                                C            G
Remember when, remember when I was Tealby Abbey then

       Bm           Em         A                D
It was not so long ago maybe a hundred years or so

           F      C
When I was Tealby Abbey

         G
That's a long long time ago

           F      C
When I was Tealby Abbey

         G
That's a long long time ago
[Interlude] G D G Bm Em A D G D G Bm Em A D [Chorus]
  G                                C            G
Remember when, remember when I was Tealby Abbey then

       Bm           Em         A                D
It was not so long ago maybe a hundred years or so

           F      C
When I was Tealby Abbey

         G
That's a long long time ago

           F      C
When I was Tealby Abbey

         G
That's a long long time ago
[Outro]
D       G
Ooh, oh man
