Alabama – Once Upon A Lifetime (Guitar)

C           F
Once upon a lifetime

            G         Am
I looked in someone's eyes

             Dm           C
And felt the fire burning in my heart

                   Gm    G   
For the very first time

C                  F
She was scared and young

        G            Am
And had never tasted love

              G      F
So I took her by the hand

      Em           F
And a boy became a man

G           C           F C
Once upon a lifetime.

C               F
And once upon a lifetime

             G        Am
You hold the queen of hearts

           Dm          C
But if you gamble on a diamond when

            Gm     G
The dealing starts

    C                F
You stand to lose it all

               G      Am
As the cards begin to fall

        C                 Dm 
And the lesson learned is hard

            Em                 F
You're only dealt the queen of hearts

G           C
Once upon a lifetime,

          Am
So if you take a chance 

     F                   C
Just know the chance you take

  Am               F             C
A broken heart's a high price to pay

Am                Em                F
Foolish ways will make fools of the wise

        Dm                 F          G
And the best things seldom come along twice.

C               F
And once upon a lifetime

              G           Am
You know that you've been blessed

         Dm                   C          
When you hold your first born tenderly 

             Gm    G
Against your chest

                C             F
And through the innocence you see

                      Am
There you are the family

        C              Dm
And you feel a special bond

     Em          F
That only comes along

      G     C
Once upon a lifetime.

          Am
So if you take a chance 

     F                   C
Just know the chance you take

  Am               F             C
A broken heart's a high price to pay

Am                Em                F
Foolish ways will make fools of the wise

        Dm                 F          G
And the best things seldom come along twice.

    F           C
And people only find

  F                   C    Dm  C
A love like yours and mine

G           C
Once upon a lifetime
