Once Upon A Time

Words & Music by Lee Adams & Charles Strouse

Recorded by Tony Bennett, 1962; From the musical "All-American"

[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.
