Guitar Tabs and Lyrics For 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.


Repeat Chorus.
      G               D                             
And people only find
      G                       D        
A love like yours and mine
A                 D
Once upon a lifetime
