Verse 1:
Cm                              Fm6
Once upon a summertime if you recall
              G7                   Cm7
we stopped beside a little flower stall
           Cm6                       D7
a bunch of bright forget-me-nots was all
            G7-9  G7
you'd let me buy  you

Verse 2:
Gm7/C       C7         C7b9 Fmaj7
Once upon a summertime like today
               Bb9             Cmaj7
we laughed the happy afternoon away
            Am7                    D7
and stole a kiss in ev'ry street cafe

Instrumental:
G7 G7-9

Verse 3:
Cmaj7           Am7                       Dm7
You were sweeter than the blossoms on the tree
          G7                    C
I was as proud as any man could be
            Am7                    Dm7    G7
As if the mayor had offered me the key to Paris

Verse 4:
Gm7/C        C9              C7       F
Now, another wintertime has come and gone
             Bb9                        Cmaj7
The pigeons feeding in the square have flown
        Am7                      D7
but I remember when the vespers chime
             Dm7    G9   G7-9    C
You loved me once upon a summertime.

Verse 4:
Gm7/C        C9              C7       F
Now, another wintertime has come and gone
             Bb9                        Cmaj7
The pigeons feeding in the square have flown
        Am7                      D7
but I remember when the vespers chime
             Dm7    G9   G7-9    C
