Chords for Long Ago...Maureen McGovern!

_ _ _ Ira was nominated for three Academy Awards [C] for They Can't Take That Away From Me, The
Man That Got Away, [D] and Long Ago and Far Away.
They all lost.
Since each of the titles had the word away in it, Ira said, away with [G] away. _ _
One of the songs had a lyric that Ira literally called in over the telephone because a recording
needed to be made.
The song [D] turned out to be the biggest [E] hit Ira had in any single [F] year and one of his
very greatest songs [Db] ever.
