[Verse 1]
Back then long time ago when grass was green
Woke up in a daze
Arrived like strangers in the night
(Fab) Long time ago when we was fab
(Fab) Back when income tax was all we had

[Verse 2]
Caresses fleeced you in the morning light
Casualties at dawn
And we did it all
(Fab) Long time ago when we was fab
(Fab) You are my world, you are my only love

[Bridge]
And while you're in this world
The fuzz gonna come and claim you
But you mo' better wise
When the buzz gonna come and take you away
Take you away, take you away

[Verse 3]
The microscopes that magnified the tears
Studied warts and all
Still the life flowed on and on
(Fab) Long time ago when we was fab
(Fab) But it's all over now baby blue

[Outro]
(Fab) Long time ago when we was fab
(Fab) Like this pullover you sent to me
(Fab) And you really got a hold me
(Fab) Long time ago when we was fab

George Harrison

If George Harrison were merely remembered for his involvement in The Beatles, his legacy would be solidified as one of rock’s greatest names. Along with staging the world’s first benefit concert where major artists performed together for humanitarian relief, introducing pop culture to classical Indian music and gaining three #1 singles as a solo artist, he was also a film producer and an avid gardener.

In 1957, he met a young Paul McCartney on a bus they both took to school. McCartney then introduced him to John Lennon to audition for his skiffle group, the Quarrymen. Lennon originally rejected Harrison as he thought he was too young to be the band, having just turned 15. Harrison eventually impressed Lennon with his guitar skills and was accepted as a member of the group.

During his time with The Beatles, Harrison was the lead guitarist, one of the singers, and contributed many songs such as “Taxman,” “Within You Without You,” “While My Guitar Gently Weeps,” “Here Comes the Sun” and “Something.”
