Chords

------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Kengus This is pretty straightforward as I see it: no capo, no overly difficult chords etc. There might be a couple of D7s instead of plain D, but D works just as well. Also, I'm not sure Morrison plays G7 every time. Have fun. Standard tuning INTRO Em C G D/F# NB! play C like this: 332010, not x32010 Em C G D/F# VERSE1
Em                        C              G      D/F#
  I was the one who would always jump in first

Em                C               G     D/F#
   I didn't think twice to look behind

Em                 C                  G                   D/F#
   Got such a good feeling, just from playing in the dirt

Em        C     G       D/F#
Once when I was little
VERSE2
Em                  C                  G     D/F#
   We could build a rocket, fly to the moon

Em                C             G              D/F#
   Leave Tuesday morning, and be back for noon

Em               C         G                         D/F#
   There wasn't nothing, nothing that we couldn't do

That the world could only get better

           C              D            Em            G7
I could be free more then,  I could pretend more then

   There was a time when I trusted everyone

Em               C                    Bm
   There was no place that I wouldn’t go

C                     D                 Em        F7
 Spend all day on the hillside next to the barley mow

Oh, once when I was little, yeah  once when I was little

BRIDGE
...                   D/F#
    I used to feel so strong

               F7                     E7                      
Even when they tell me, tell me I was wrong

                       Am
That I can't live in a magic world

                              D
Cause it's time for me to grow up

                         G
And I got to be like the rest of them

       F7                    E7
When I know things have been lost, oh
CHORUS
           C              D               Em             G7
I could pretend more then,  and I could believe more then

         C               Bm       D
That the world, it would only get better

                C                      D
Whoa, I could believe more then, yes I could

               Em           G7
And I could pretend more then

          C              Bm           D

   So here comes the next one, the next in line

Em                     C                 G       D/F#
  Stay as young as you can, for the longest time

Em                       C          G                          D/F#
   Cause those days flew by like a breeze just passing through

Once when I was little.
