Verse 1:
C minorCm Fm6Fm6
Once upon a summertime if you recall

we stopped beside a little flower stall

a bunch of bright forget-me-nots was all
G7-9 G7G7
you'd let me buy you
Verse 2:
Gm7/C C7C7 C7b9C7b9 Fmaj7Fmaj7
Once upon a summertime like today
Bb9Bb9 Cmaj7Cmaj7
we laughed the happy afternoon away
Am7Am7 D7D7
and stole a kiss in ev'ry street cafe
Instrumental:
G7G7 G7-9
Verse 3:
Cmaj7Cmaj7 Am7Am7 Dm7Dm7
You were sweeter than the blossoms on the tree
G7G7 C majorC
I was as proud as any man could be
Am7Am7 Dm7Dm7 G7G7
As if the mayor had offered me the key to Paris
Verse 4:
Gm7/C C9C9 C7C7 FF
Now, another wintertime has come and gone
Bb9Bb9 Cmaj7Cmaj7
The pigeons feeding in the square have flown
Am7Am7 D7D7
but I remember when the vespers chime
Dm7Dm7 G9G9 G7-9 C majorC
You loved me once upon a summertime.

but I remember when the vespers chime
