Alabama - Once Upon A Lifetime

intro : Bm – G – D

D G
once upon a lifetime
Bm
i looked in someone’s eyes
G D

and felt the fire burning in my heart
A
for the very first time
D G
she was scared and young
Bm
and had never tasted love
D G
so i took her by the hand
D G
and a boy became a man
A D
once upon a lifetime .

D G
and once upon a lifetime
Bm
you hold the queen of hearts
G D
but if you gamble on a diamond when
A
the dealing starts
D G
you stand to lose it all
Bm
as the cards begin to fall
D G
and the lesson learned is hard
D G
you’re only dealt the queen of hearts
A D
once upon a lifetime ,

chorus :
Bm
so if you take a chance
G D
just know the chance you take
Bm G D
a broken heart’s a high price to pay
Bm F#m G
foolish ways will make fools of the wise
Bm G A
and the best things seldom come along twice .

D G
and once upon a lifetime
Bm
you know that you’ve been blessed
G D
when you hold your first born tenderly
A
against your chest
D G
and through the innocence you see
Bm
there you are the family
D G
and you feel a special bond
D G
that only comes along
A D
once upon a lifetime .

and people only find
G D
a love like yours and mine
A D
once upon a lifetime
