	        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
