Once upon a time

A           Am7   A6    Am7       F#m
Once upon a time     a girl with moonlight in her eyes

Dm7                A  Am7      D        A        D   Dm7  Bm7
Put her hand in mine      and said she loved me so;

     E7       F#m              D   E7        A   Am7   Bm7/5-   E7
But that was once upon a time,    very long ago.


A           Am7  A6     Am7    F#m
Once upon a hill     we sat beneath a willow tree

Dm7                A   Am7     D       A        D   Dm7  Bm7
Counting all the stars    and waiting for the dawn ?

But that was once upon a time   ?   now the tree is gone.



Bridge:

Bm7/5- E7   Am7  A6  Bm7/5-   E7          Am7    A6
How  the breeze    ruffled through her hair;

G#m    C#7     F#m                 B7            E7
How we always laughed as though tomorrow wasn't there.

D9       A        Bm7/5-   E7     A      Am7
We were young and didn't have a care  ?

F#m    B7        Bm7/5-  E7
Where     did it go?


A            Am7 A6       Am7       F#m
Once upon a time     the world was sweeter than we knew,

Dm7              A  Am7      D     A       D     Dm7   Bm7
Ev'rything was ours  ?  how happy we were then!

      E7     F#m         Dm7   Bm7
But somehow once upon a time

Bm7/5-  E7   D9   A    F#m   D9    Bbm7    A
Never comes a - gain.
