Gm7
Once upon a daydream

       Ebm7
I fell in love with you

     Gm7
Once upon a moonbeam

       Ebm7
I gave that love to you

     Gm7
Once upon a lifetime

       Ebm7
I knew it must be true

     Gm7
When the months had turned us

         Ebm7
I'd have to marry you
[Chorus]
     B     Bsus4
Once upon a daydream

            B     Bsus4
Doesn't happen anymore

     B        Bsus4
Once upon a moonbeam

     Cmaj9
This is no place for tenderness
[Verse 2]
Gm7
Once her daddy found out

        Ebm7
He threw her to the floor

          Gm7
He killed her unborn baby

           Ebm7
And kicked me from the door

     Gm7
Once upon a nightmare

         Ebm7
I bought myself a gun

  Gm7
I blew her daddy's brains out

         Ebm7
Now hell has just begun
[Chorus]
     B     Bsus4
Once upon a daydream

            B     Bsus4
Doesn't happen anymore

Once upon a moonbeam

This is no place for sentiment
[Interlude]
Gm7
(Ah....)
[Verse 3]
Gm7
Once upon a lifetime

      Ebm7
A lifetime filled with tears

         Gm7
The boy would pay for his crime

         Ebm7
With all his natural years

     Gm7
Once upon a daydream

        Ebm7
He'd make you his someday

     Gm7
Once upon a moonbeam

          Ebm7
He'd dream his life away
[Chorus]
     B     Bsus4
Once upon a daydream

            B     Bsus4
Doesn't happen anymore

     B          Bsus4
Once upon a moonbeam

      Cmaj9
This is no place for miracles
[Outro]
Gm7
Once upon a daydream

Once upon a daydream

Once upon a daydream

Gm7
Once upon a day...Dream
