Tom : A
A A7M A6 A7M F#m
Once upon a time a girl with moonlight in her eyes
D7M A A7M D A D D7M Bm7
Put her hand in mine and said she loved me so
E7 F#m D E7
A A7M Bm5-/7 E7
But that was once upon a time, very long ago
A A7M A6 A7M F#m
Once upon a hill we sat beneath a willow tree
D7M A A7M D A D D7M Bm7
Counting all the stars and waiting for the dawn
E7 F#m D
Bm5-/7 E7 A A7M A6 A7M
But that was once upon a time now the tree is gone
Bridge
Bm5-/7 E7 A7M A6 Bm5-/7 E7 A7M 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 Bm5-/7 E7 A A7M
We were young and didn't have a care
F#m B7
Bm5-/7 E7
Where did it go
A A7M A6 A7M F#m
Once upon a time the world was sweeter than we knew
D7M A A7M D A D D7M Bm7
Ev'rything was ours how happy we were then
E7 F#m D7M Bm7
But somehow once upon a time
Bm5-/7 E7 D7/9 A F#m D9 Bb7M A
Never comes again
