INTRO: 
A5      A5      A5      A5       
i.e. just keep moving the C on the 2nd string up and down. 
A5  A5  F5 then add 11 (release the C5 2nd string) 
Once                    there was a  
A5  A5  F5 then add 11 
time,                   When my  
A5 A5 F5 (6-5) E5 (6-5) 
mind  lay on   higher      things 

{as above} 

And once there was a time 

I could find pretty words to sing 

But now, well now I find 

It saves time to say what you mean 

I know it seems so unrefined 

but it's time to let off some steam  

Oh come on! 
F5         D5      A5       E5 
Everybody knows that No means Yes 
        F5        D5                 D5 G5 
Just like glasses come free on the N. H. S. 
        F5      D5               A5          E5 
But the more I look through them the more I see 
      F5      G5      C5 
I'm becoming more like Alfie  

Once there was a time 

When a kind word could be enough 

And once there was a time 

I could blindfold myself with love 

But not now - now I'm resigned 

To the kind of life I had reserved 

For other guys less smart than I 

Y'know - the kind who will always end up with the girls  

And besides 

Everybody knows that No means Yes 

Just like glasses come free on the N.H.S. 

But the more I look through them the more I see 

I'm becoming more like Alfie  

Oh come on!
