Verse 1
[Cm] [Fm6]
Once upon a summertime, if you recall
[G7] [Cm7]
We stopped be-side a little flower stall
[Cm6] [D7]
A bunch of bright forget-me-nots was all
[G7-9] [G7]
I'd let you buy me
Verse 2
[Gm7/C] [C7] [C7b9] [Fmaj7]
Once upon a summertime just like today
[Bb9] [Cmaj7]
We laughed the happy afternoon away
[Am7] [D7] [G7] [G7-9]
And stole a kiss in ev'ry street cafe
Verse 3
[Cmaj7] [Am7] [Dm7]
You were sweeter than the blossoms on the tree
[G7] [C]
I was as proud as any girl could be
[Am7] [Dm7] [G7]
As if the mayor had offered me the key to Paris
Verse 4
[Gm7/C] [C9] [C7] [F]
Now, another wintertime has come and gone
[Bb9] [Cmaj7]
The pigeons feeding in the square have flown
[Am7] [D7]
But I remember when the vespers chime
[Dm7] [G9] [G7-9] [C]
You loved me once upon a summertime
Verse 5
[Gm7/C] [C9] [C7] [F]
Now, another wintertime has come and gone
[Bb9] [Cmaj7]
The pigeons feeding in the square have flown
[Am7] [D7]
But I remember when the vespers chime
[Dm7] [G9] [G7-9] [C]
You loved me once upon a summertime
