Verse 1:
F                                                   C
Once upon a yesterday we were children working hard at play
  G                   C                           F  C  F
Tomorrow was a world away, time was standing still
F                                                     C
The magic of the radio, taught us songs we didn't know
C
We sang 'em loud and we sang 'em low
                     F  C7  F
Once upon a yesterday
 
Bridge:
A#                       F
   We heard them sing on Saturday night
C                       F
  Kitty and Roy and Hank
A#                                 F
  And for a lot of what we know of love and truth
G7                     C   C7
  We have them to thank

Chorus:
                  F                             C
Once upon a yesterday words were swirling in my mind
C
With melodies that fit the rhyme
                  F
Once upon a yesterday
 
[Solo]
F    F    C    C    C    C    F    F
 
Bridge:
A#                 F
  We sang the songs that fit our dreams
C                              F
  And then the dreams came true
A#                           F
  Songs of pain and songs of love
G7               C   C7
  All for me and you
 
Chorus:
                  F                            C
Once upon a yesterday, tomorrow came and went away
C
And I wrote another song to play
                  F
Once upon a yesterday
