AAm7A6Am7F#m
Once upon a time a girl with moonlight in her eyes
Dm7AAm7DADDm7Bm7
Put her hand in mine and said she loved me so;
E7F#mDE7AAm7Bm7/5- E7
But that was once upon a time, very long ago.
AAm7A6Am7F#m
Once upon a hill we sat beneath a willow tree
Dm7AAm7DADDm7Bm7
Counting all the stars and waiting for the dawn ?
E7F#mDBm7/5- E7AAm7A6Am7
But that was once upon a time ? now the tree is gone.
Bridge:
Bm7/5- E7Am7A6Bm7/5- E7Am7A6
How the breeze ruffled through her hair;
G#mC#7F#mB7E7
How we always laughed as though tomorrow wasn't there.
D9ABm7/5- E7AAm7
We were young and didn't have a care ?
F#mB7Bm7/5- E7
Where did it go?
AAm7A6Am7F#m
Once upon a time the world was sweeter than we knew,
Dm7AAm7DADDm7Bm7
Ev'rything was ours ? how happy we were then!
E7F#mDm7Bm7
But somehow once upon a time
Bm7/5- E7D9AF#mD9A#m7A
Never comes a - gain.
