Chris de Burgh – Once Upon a Time From the albums: The Road to Freedom (2004) and Live in Dortmund (2005) Comment for any corrections and please rate The chords I wrote here are for the live version of Once Upon a Time from the album Live in Dortmund. I don't have the album version from the special edition of The Road to Freedom, So I'm not sure if these chords match the original perfectly. Intro: D D G D Daddy I can't sleep tonight, it's happening again, G Gm D Voices in the kitchen are shouting and it's keeping me awake, Em Is it something I've done wrong? Bm Maybe it's all my fault, Em A And why is Mummy crying all the time? D G D Lately I've been dreaming, dreaming of the day, G Gm D We will come together and be a happy family again, Em Bm Remember how it used to be, sitting here on my bed, Em Both of you with stories, A D When you came to say goodnight, A D Once upon a time you must have loved her, Em And held her in your arms, A F# Bm And told her she's the best thing in your life, G D And it's so sad, so bad, Em A D G D A To think that you don't love her anymore, anymore, D G D Someday when I'm older, will it be the same? G Gm D To wake up in the morning and find that everything in life has changed, Em Well I never want to see that day, Bm I never want to leave this home, Em A D But most of all I never want to hear you say goodbye, A D Once upon a time you must have loved her, Em And held her in your arms, A F# Bm And told her she's the best thing in your world, G D And it's so sad, so bad, Em A Bb Bm To think that you don't love her anymore, anymore, Em A To think that you don't love her like before, D A D G D Once upon a time.
