From: For The Record- 41 # 1 Hits Note: I looked at this after I sent it in and found a few mistakes. Here is a corrected version. This is the greatest song by Alabama in my opinion. For me it has held true for two of the three verses. It sounds close to the recording but I may have gotten a few of the chords out of place. Please post any Alabama songs you have. Thanks. Chords: D: xx0232 G: 320003 A: xx2220 Bm: 224432 244222 Intro: - - Once upon a lifetime I looked in someone’s eyes And felt the fire burning in my heart For the very first time She was scared and young And had never tasted love So I took her by the hand And a boy became a man Once upon a lifetime. And once upon a lifetime You hold the queen of hearts But if you gamble on a diamond when The dealing starts You stand to lose it all As the cards begin to fall And the lesson learned is hard You’re only dealt the queen of hearts Once upon a lifetime So if you take a chance Just know the chance you take A broken heart’s a high price to pay Foolish ways will make fools of the wise And the best things seldom come along twice. And once upon a lifetime You know that you’ve been blessed When you hold your first born tenderly Against your chest And through the innocence you see There you are the family And you feel a special bond That only comes along Once upon a lifetime. Repeat Chorus. And people only find A love like yours and mine Once upon a lifetime Outro- -
