Once Upon A Time by Robert Bradley's Blackwater Surprise Charted by: Micbass ---- My first chart here at U-G. I'm deducing chord voicing based on the song's structure and bass line; the guitar and/or keyboard my occasionally play a Bm9 or D6, for example. But this should give you the basic structure of the song. Play around. Have fun. ---- Chords:

E----^A0----^F#m2----^Bm72----^E0----^D2----| B----2----2----3----0----3----| G----2----2----2----1----2----| D----2----4----4----2----0----| A----0----4----2----2---------| E---------2---------0---------|

Structure: Intro and Verses: |A F#m |Bm7 A | 1st Chorus: |E |Bm7 D |A | Chorus: |E |Bm7 D |A |F#m | |E |Bm7 D |A | (Slow, Motown feel)
