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
