Verse 1:
CmCm                              Fm6Fm6
Once upon a summertime if you recall
              G7G7                   Cm7Cm7
we stopped beside a little flower stall
           Cm6Cm6                       D7D7
a bunch of bright forget-me-nots was all
            G7G7-9  G7G7
you'd let me buy  you

Verse 2:
Gm7Gm7/CC       C7C7         C7b9 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 G7G7-9

Verse 3:
Cmaj7Cmaj7           Am7Am7                       Dm7Dm7
You were sweeter than the blossoms on the tree
          G7G7                    CC
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:
Gm7Gm7/CC        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   G7G7-9    CC
You loved me once upon a summertime.

Verse 4:
Gm7Gm7/CC        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   G7G7-9    CC
