Once Upon Chord diagramA augmentedA Time - as perfomed by The Pogues

INTRO: Chord diagramE MajorE
Chord diagramE MajorE                       Chord diagramC# minorC#m
The hour's late and the lights are low
Chord diagramA augmentedA                     Chord diagramBB
I'm walking home just kicking stones
Chord diagramE MajorE                     Chord diagramC# minorC#m
I waited at the deopt you never showed
Chord diagramA augmentedA                                 Chord diagramBB
You missed the last bus hours ago
Chord diagramE MajorE                           Chord diagramC# minorC#m
I remember the first time I saw you on the street
Chord diagramE MajorE                       Chord diagramA augmentedA
You looked so pretty my heart skipped a beat
                              Chord diagramBB
I can't wait any longer but I still feel the heat
    Chord diagramE MajorE                        Chord diagramBB
I'm down but I'm still on my feet

I walked on down the old fairground
Up from the docks blew a lonely sound
I sat for a while on the cold hard ground
Watched the stars slowly turn as the earth spun around
As the past falls behind up ahead there's a crack
Of light shining bright through the night so black
Like a runaway train rolling down the track
>From here there's no turning back

Chord diagramE MajorE
Listen to me baby Once upon a time
Chord diagramA augmentedA                         Chord diagramBB
My heart was an ocean You swam against the tide
Chord diagramE MajorE
The time is past for grieving My tears have all run dry
Chord diagramA augmentedA                               Chord diagramBB
I'll leave you with my love And now I say goodbye

Chord diagramE MajorE Chord diagramA augmentedA Chord diagramE MajorE Chord diagramA augmentedA

The bottles broke the glasses are cracked
The cards are all dealt and the chips have been stacked
The lamp shades busted and the curtains are torn
The door keeps knocking but there's nobody home
I stood by the road brushed a tear from my eye
Cursed the cars and the rain and the rolling grey sky
I turned around turned my back on that town
And I never looked back again

Listen to me baby...
