This is an easy version, Jack doesn’t play it like this (Because he's a good  
guitarist) but it sounds good anyway. 
Improvise at the end with la la las etc 
Sounds better played with Bar Chords on G A Bm 


Once Upon a Street 


D  Bm G Bm 
D          G      D 
There once was a writer 
     G            D 
He liked to write songs 
D           G         D 
He had the eyes of a fighter 
       G         D 
Never did nobody wrong 

G A D 
  
D        A         D        G                D 
He then became a lover the day he found his heart 
        Bm          D                    G                  D           
In the words of a hooker who walked the cold streets after dark 

            Bm                                    G                D            
She said,  Where d'you think your going with that look upon your face 
             Bm       
Nowhere for you 
           G          Bm        A                   D        A   G 
He said,  I'm going nowhere, would you like to come too      oooo 

          G           Bm        A                   D 
He said,  I'm going nowhere, would you like to come too 

G  A  D 
        G                     D 
So they made sweet love by a streetlight 
           G                      D 
While the raindrops washed their sins 
           G                  D 
And as he trespassed into her life 
      G                    D 
Well she fell in love with him 


D                   G 
While touching her face 
        D        
Looking for a love 
   G                 D             
He began to kiss her eyes  
            Bm         D                     G          D 
But at the taste of a tear drop he heard the lady say goodbye 


D            Bm                                      D 
So he said,  Where d'you think your going with that look upon your face 
             Bm 
Nowhere for you 
          G          Bm      A                     D      A    Bm  
She said, I'm going nowhere would you like to come too   ooo  Yeah 


          G         Bm    
She said, I'm going nowhere 
         A                          D 
He said,  I would love to come with you 
                  A                        G     D 
                 I would love to come with you
