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
