Once Upon a Time
Rick Danko

E                               A
Once upon a time, everything I thought of
Am                   E
Somehow seemed to rhyme
                F#7
The wise were always old
Am                        B
And the young were always showed
E             E7           A    C          Am
But very early on, I was spun a different yarn
Am                                           E
Tried to get along, just by knowing right from wrong

Am
The best offer is a helping hand
                           E
Everyone needs a promised land
A                           C
And whether you're young or old
   C                       B         E
Never ever let yourself get put on hold

E                        A                   Am
I would sit on grandpa's knee..just to wear his hat
        E                B
And listen to the tales
   Am                    E
From his world of make believe..

Am  C  E7  A7  C7  B7

E                                  A
As the child comes of age, leave him alone
Am           E
To turn the page
 F#                       A              B7        E
Luck is the spine..a broken promise of another's mind
E                          Am              E
Straight goods really are what money cannot buy
 B                             Am
Choose your side, and walk with pride
                      E
There's no reward for suicide...
