Once Upon A Time

[Verse 1]
  G        C            G
There is a time to walk ahead
               C          G    C  G  C
And there’s a time to stay behind
G         C             G
There is a time to play along
              C                     G    C  G  C
And there’s a time to free your mind
Dm              G                          Am
When times were changing all across the universe
               Dm           E               Am    D
You could hear music on the dark side of the moon
G         C             G
It was the season of the witch
         C                G          C  G  C
She came around to heal the blind

[Chorus]
Dm          G                        A7     Dm
Once upon a time when Mars and Jupiter aligned
              Gm       A7           Dm
They said the new age of Aquarius had begun
Dm             G                C           F
Love was in the air and there was music everywhere
            Gm                  Bb            A
And all the people joining in were having fun

[Verse 2]
G             C                   G
You paid your dues, you learnt your lesson
       C                   G    C  G  C
So you know the stage is set
G          C                 G
You can’t believe in what you see
              C                    G    C  G  C
Cause what you see ain’t what you get
Dm              G                          Am
Maybe we’re nothing more than footprints in the sand
       Dm             E        Am               D
And soon the flood may come to wash it all away
G         C                   G
And yet I cannot help but think
               C             G             C  G  C
There must be more to it than that

[Chorus]
Dm          G                        A7     Dm
Once upon a time when Mars and Jupiter aligned
              Gm       A7           Dm
They said the new age of Aquarius had begun
Dm             G                C           F
Love was in the air and there was music everywhere
            Gm                  Bb            A
And all the people joining in were having fun

[Verse 3]
    Gm         F         Gm        F
For we’ve been told that young and old
     Gm                F    Gm     F
Will learn from each other
   Gm     F         Gm      F
To understand your fellow man
    Gm                 F    Gm     F
To care for your brother
     Gm        F         Gm        F
For we’ve been told that young and old
    Gm         F            Gm     F
Can teach one another
    Gm      Cm      F      Bb
To understand your fellow man
    D#                 D
To care for your brother

[Verse 4]
G            C           G
So when the future has no future
           C          G      C  G  C
And the past has passed away
G               C         G
We’re left with nothing to remember
         C              G      C  G  C
Left with nothing but today
Dm            G                             Am
When I hear people say that Rock’n’Roll is dead
            Dm                   E          Am      D
Who will be playing for the children of the King
G        C          G
Then I remember the old saying
       C                  G  C  G  C
Rock‘n’Roll is here to stay
