C majorC        D MajorD       E minorEm E minorEm
Once upon a time Not so long ago

Tommy used to work on the docks
Union's been on strike
He's down on his luck
   C minorCm  D MajorD  E minorEm
It's tough, so tough
E minorEm
Gina works the diner all day
Working for her man,
she brings home her pay
  C minorCm  D MajorD  E minorEm
For love, for love

           C majorC  D MajorD        E minorEm
She says we've got to hold on to what we've got
     C majorC       D MajorD
'Cause it doesn't make a difference
         E minorEm
If we make it or not
   C majorC    D MajorD         E minorEm
We've got each other and that's a lot
  C majorC      D MajorD
For love, we'll give it a shot

Tommy's got his six string in hock
Now he's holding in what he used
To make it talk
  C minorCm  D MajorD   E minorEm
So tough, it's tough
E minorEm
Gina dreams of running away
When she cries in the night
Tommy whispers:
      C minorCm  D MajorD E minorEm
"Baby it's okay, someday"

        C majorC  D MajorD        E minorEm
we've got to hold on to what we've got
     C majorC       D MajorD
'Cause it doesn't make a difference
         E minorEm
If we make it or not
   C majorC    D MajorD         E minorEm
We've got each other and that's a lot
