Once Upon A Lifetime Chords & Lyrics - Alabama

Intro: [Bm] - [G] - [D]

[D]Once upon a lifeti[G]me
I looked in someone's eyes [Bm]
[G] [D]

And felt the fire burning in my heart
For the ver[A]y first time
[D]She was scared and young [G]
And had never tasted love [Bm]
So I [D]took her by the hand [G]
And a boy[D] became a man [G]
[A]Once upon a lifeti[D]me.

[D]And once upon a lifetime[G]
You hold the queen of hearts [Bm]
But if you gamb[G]le on a diamond wh[D]en
The dea[A]ling starts
[D]You stand to lose it all [G]
As the cards begin to fall [Bm]
And the [D]lesson learned is hard [G]
You're only dealt[D] the queen of hearts [G]
[A]Once upon a lifeti[D]me,

[CHORUS]
So if[Bm] you take a chance
Just kn[G]ow the chance you take [D]
A br[Bm]oken heart's a high p[G]rice to pay [D]
[Bm]Foolish ways will make [F#m]fools of the wise [G]
And the best [Bm]things seldom come along [G]twice. [A]

[D]And once upon a lifetime[G]
You know that you've been blessed [Bm]
When you hold y[G]our first born tenderly [D]
[A]Against your chest
And through the innocenc[D]e you see [G]
There you are the family [Bm]
And you[D] feel a special bond [G]
That on[D]ly comes along [G]
[A]Once upon a lifeti[D]me.

Repeat Chorus.
And pe[G]ople only find [D]
A love[G] like yours and mine [D]
[A]Once upon a lifeti[D]me

Outro- [G] - [D]
