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.

DOnce upon a lifetiGme
I looked in someone's eyes Bm
GD
And felt the fire burning in my heart
For the verAy first time
DShe was scared and young G
And had never tasted love Bm
So I Dtook her by the hand G
And a boyD became a man G
AOnce upon a lifetiDme.
DAnd once upon a lifetimeG
You hold the queen of hearts Bm
But if you gambGle on a diamond whDen
The deaAling starts
DYou stand to lose it all G
As the cards begin to fall Bm
And the Dlesson learned is hard G
You're only dealtD the queen of hearts G
AOnce upon a lifetiDme,
So ifBm you take a chance
Just knGow the chance you take D
A brBmoken heart's a high pGrice to pay D
BmFoolish ways will make F#mfools of the wise G
And the best Bmthings seldom come along Gtwice. A
DAnd once upon a lifetimeG
You know that you've been blessed Bm
When you hold yGour first born tenderly D
AAgainst your chest
And through the innocencDe you see G
There you are the family Bm
And youD feel a special bond G
That onDly comes along G
AOnce upon a lifetiDme.
Repeat Chorus.
And peGople only find D
A loveG like yours and mine D
AOnce upon a lifetiDme
