Once [Am]upon a time

[Verse 1]
[D]ago
[G]Way up [C]in the lan[Am]d of [D]sleet and[G] sno[C]w
How this [Am]fairy [D]would go
[G]I could not[C] have kno[Am]w[C][D]
[G]I had

[Verse 2]
[C]searched [Am]around
this [D]world so [G]mean
[C]From Living[Am]stone [D]to [G]Palestine
[C]Trying to [Am]pursue m[D]y drea[G]m
[C]Of lov[Am]e[D][G]

[Verse 3]
It [C]was then I [Am]met this girl [D]so fine
[G]She made me [C]think so [Am]fast
[D]I left my tho[G]ughts behin[C]d
[Am]And I trie[D]d to pass [G]for
[C]a sophist[Am]icated
[D]Northern man
[G]I said

[Verse 4]
[C]yes my dear,
[Am]I know exact[D]ly what yo[G]u mean
Because [C]there's not [Am]so much

[C]As she [Am]turned around [D]to walk [G]away
This [C]is what she [Am]had to [D]say
[G]She told me

[Verse 7]
[C]man I [Am]come
from [D]way [G]down South
I've [C]got a pick[Am]et fence
with a [G]picket house
And [Am]I don't need no fast
[G]talking Northern[C] man[Am]
Like you [D]around
[G]I said well

[Verse 8]
[F]come on baby
Come on baby
Come on baby
[D]

[Verse 9]
[G]
[C]Honey I don't [Am]know
[D]what you just [G]heard
[C]But [Am]Alabama is [G]my favorite [C]word
And [Am]Birmingham
[G]Is a l[C]ong way[F] fr[Am]om here[D][G]

[Verse 10]
I could [C]see the [Am]light [D]began to [G]shine
She [F]turned [C]back [Am]around [D]her eyes [G]met mine
[C]And sudden[Am]ly the who[D]le wor[G]ld became
[C]A b[Am]etter pla[D]ce
[G]Even if

[Verse 11]
[C]it was [Am]only for [D]an instant
[G]Because it [C]was the[Am]n I knew
[D]I had[G] made my[C][Am]
[D]Second mistake
[G]She told me

[Verse 12]
[C]man [Am]that
was a real [G]good try
But [C]Alabama's [Am]not where I resi[G]de
I [C]come from [F]where the [Dm]river [G]is wide
And [C]the craw [Am]fish [D]hide
[G]I said well

[Verse 13]
[F]come on baby
Come on baby
Come on baby
[D]

[Verse 14]
[G]
[C]Honey I don't [Am]know
what you [D]just [G]heard
But [Am]Louisiana [D]is my fav[G]orite wor[C]d
[Am]And New Orlean[G]s
[C]Is [F]a long [Am]way [G]from here

[Verse 15]
She [C]just looked at [Am]me
and [D]shook her [G]head
Your [C]lines [F]are pretty sad[D] she[G] said
[C]You are a [Am]lonely, weak[D], p[G]athetic man
[C]If this is doi[Am]ng the best [D]you can
[G]It was

[Verse 16]
[C]then I kne[Am]w I had
[D]made my [G]third mistake
[C]Yes [Am]three strikes right [G]across the plate
[C]And as I h[Am]ollered honey
[C]ple[G]ase wai[C]t[Am]
She was [G]gone

[Verse 17]
I [F]said well come on baby
Come on baby
Come on baby
[D]

[Verse 18]
[G]
[C]Honey I don't [Am]know
what you [D]just [G]heard
[C]Bartender [Am]set 'em [D]up
are my [G]favorite [C]words
[Am]Because the love I nee[G]d
Is a [F]long [Am]way [G]from here

[Verse 19]
Oh [C]the love I [Am]need
Is [D]a l[G]ong w[C]ay [Am]from[D] here[G]

[Verse 20]
Yes [C]well there I [Am]sat s[D]o all [G]alone
Like [C]a king who [Am]sits [D]upon his [G]throne
[C]And whose kin[F]gdom may[D]
have just [G]gone home
[C]Wit[Am]h ano[D]ther kingdom
[G]So as you

[Verse 21]
[C]can ima[Am]gine
much to [D]my [G]surprise
[C]When the doo[Am]r was flung
[D]back ope[G]n wide
[C]It was a mir[Am]acle
She [G]walked inside
And [C]pulled her [Am]chair up next
[G]to [C]me[Am][D][G]

[Verse 22]
And that's [C]when [Am]she knew
[D]She had mad[C]e her[Am]
[D]First mis[G]take

[Interlude 1]
[F]
[D][G]

[Verse 23]
[C]Honey I don't [Am]know
[D]what you [G]just heard[C]
But come [Am]on baby
[D]Are my fav[G]orite wor[C]ds[Am]
And where we're go[G]ing
Is a [F]long [Am]way from h[G]ere

[Verse 24]
And where [C]we're [Am]going
Is [D]a l[G]ong w[C]ay [D]from[G] here

[Verse 25]
So like [C]I said before
[Am]I could no[D]t have kno[G]wn
How [C]this fairy [Am]tale [D]would finally [G]go
[C]Still the [Am]only cer[D]tain thing [G]for sure
[C]Is what I [Am]do not k[D]now
[G]So like the

[Verse 26]
[C]years and [Am]all
the season[G]s pass
And [C]like the sand run[Am]s
through the [C]hour glass
I just keep on running [G]faster
Chas[C]ing the hap[Am]pily
[D]I am e[G]ver a[C]fter[Am]
[G]I just

[Verse 27]
[C]keep on [Am]running faster
[G]Chasing [C]the hap[Am]pily
I [D]am ever [G]after
