***ONCE UPON A TIME - by Jem Finer
from the album "Waiting For Herb"
Once Upon A Time - as perfomed by The Pogues
INTRO: E
EThe hour's late and the C#mlights are low
AI'm walking home just Bkicking stones
EI waited at the deopt C#myou never showed
AYou missed the last bus hours ago B
EI remember the first time I C#msaw you on the street
EYou looked so pretty my Aheart skipped a beat
I can't wait any longer but I Bstill feel the heat
I'm Edown but I'm still on my Bfeet
I walked on down the old fairground
Up from the docks blew a lonely sound
I sat for a while on the cold hard ground
Watched the stars slowly turn as the earth spun around
As the past falls behind up ahead there's a crack
Of light shining bright through the night so black
Like a runaway train rolling down the track
>From here there's no turning back
EListen to me baby Once upon a time
AMy heart was an ocean You Bswam against the tide
EThe time is past for grieving My tears have all run dry
AI'll leave you with my love And Bnow I say goodbye
E A E A
The bottles broke the glasses are cracked
The cards are all dealt and the chips have been stacked
The lamp shades busted and the curtains are torn
The door keeps knocking but there's nobody home
I stood by the road brushed a tear from my eye
Cursed the cars and the rain and the rolling grey sky
I turned around turned my back on that town
And I never looked back again
Listen to me baby...
E A E A B E C#m A B E B
Listen to me baby...
E A E A E A E A E A
