Once upon a time(Cavaco chords)

	        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 ?  
  
     E7       F#m         D   Bm7/5-  E7              A    Am7  A6  Am7  
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.
