Once Upon A Lifetime
Alabama
Album: American Pride

Capo 1

Intro: F G C F C

Verse 1:
C      F
Once upon a lifetime
        G   Am
I looked in someone's eyes
       F      Em
And felt the fire burning in my heart
    G
For the very first time
C    Em     F
She was scared and young
       G   Am
And had never tasted love
       G   F
So I took her by the hand
   C      F
And a boy became a man
G      C      F C
Once upon a lifetime.

Verse 2:
C        F
And once upon a lifetime
       G    Am
You hold the queen of hearts
      F      Em
But if you gamble on a diamond when
  G
The dealing starts
  C    Em   F
You stand to lose it all
       G    Am
As the cards begin to fall
             F
And the lesson learned is hard
      G         F
You're only dealt the queen of hearts
G      C
Once upon a lifetime,


Chorus:
     Am
So if you take a chance
   F          C
Just know the chance you take
 Am        F       C
A broken heart's a high price to pay
Am        Em        F
Foolish ways will make fools of the wise
    F      Am   F     G
And the best things seldom come along twice.


Verse 3:
C        F
And once upon a lifetime
       G      Am
You know that you've been blessed
     F          Em
When you hold your first born tenderly
 G
Against your chest
        C     Em F
And through the innocence you see
           Am
There you are the family
    C       F
And you feel a special bond
   C      F
That only comes along
G         C
Once upon a lifetime.


Chorus:
     Am
So if you take a chance
   F          C
Just know the chance you take
 Am        F       C
A broken heart's a high price to pay
Am        Em        F
Foolish ways will make fools of the wise
    F      Am   F     G
And the best things seldom come along twice.


Ending:
  F      C
And people only find
 F          C
A love like yours and mine
G      C
Once upon a lifetime
