[C] [Dm] [Bb]
[F] Once [Bb] upon a road when I was innocent [F] and free
And the [C] back roads [D] of America were [Bb]
like a toy [F] land to me
It surely [G] was [Bb] promised land and we had [F] ourselves to plead
Oh how the [C] milk and [D] honey flowed [Bb]
that was once [F] upon a road
[G] Once [Bb] upon a road we could live off [F] of the land
[C] Butter melons [D] on the fire, [Bb]
chicken cookin' in [F] the pan
Water [G] clean, [Bb] water free, you could sleep [F] beneath the tree
Love and [C] freedom [D] was our code [Bb]
that was once [F] upon a road

[C] Once [Bb] upon a road really was a [F] crazy time
When we [E] thought we [Dm] could move mountains so [Bb]
we moved them [F] in our minds
Blood and [G] sweat and [Bb] bitter tears, it took the days it [F] took the years
But we have [C] little [D] left to show for [Bb]
being once [F] upon a road
[C] Once [Bb] upon a road when we were young [F] we were fair
Changed the [C] face of [Dm] all America but [Bb]
never in the [F] barber chair
We were fighting [Bb] for our dreams, we tried to bust that [F] money scheme
There ain't [E] nothing [D] that we know [Bb] for being once [F] upon a road
We have [C] little [Dm] left to show [Bb] for being once [F] upon a road
We have [C] little [D] left to show [Bb] for being once [F] upon a road
