(Cm)Once

(Ab)Once
there was (Bb)blue sky with (Gm7)white clouds high a (C)bove,
(Fm7)once
they were (Bb7)part of an (Cm)ev er last ing (G)love.
(Cm)We
were the (Fm)lov ers who (Cm)strolled
(G7)through green (Cm)fields.
(Cm)Green
fields are (Fm)gone now,
(Cm)parched
by the (G7)sun;
(Cm)gone
from the (Fm)val leys where (Cm)riv ers used to (G7)run,
(Ab)gone
with the (Bb)cold wind that (Gm7)swept in to my (C)heart,
(Fm7)gone
with the (Bb7)lov ers who (Cm)let their dreams de (G)part.
(Cm)Where
are the (Fm)green fields that (Cm)we
(G7)used to (Cm)roam?
(Ab)I’ll

(Cm)noth ing in this (Fm)wide world
(D)left for me to (G)see,

You can’t be (Bb7)hap py un (Cm)til you bring it (G)home,
