ONCE WHEN I WAS LITTLE – James Morrison
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is pretty straightforward as I see it: no capo, no overly difficult
chords etc. There might be a couple of D7s instead of plain D, but D works
just as well. Also, I'm not sure Morrison plays G7 every time. Have fun.
Standard tuning

Oh, once when I was little, mmm, once when I was little
CHORUS
[C] [D] [Em] [G7]
And yeah I could dream more then, I could believe more then
[C] [Bm] [D]
That the world could only get better

I could be free more then, I could pretend more then

BRIDGE
... [D/F#]
I used to feel so strong
[F7] [E7]
Even when they tell me, tell me I was wrong
[Am]
That I can't live in a magic world

Cause it's time for me to grow up

And I got to be like the rest of them
[F7] [E7]
When I know things have been lost, oh

Once when I was little.
