[Verse Chords: G C Em C (2x), Em C (3x), D]

[Verse 1] When I was young I gave a gift to a girl Just a little somethin’ small She made me feel like King of the World I wished I could give her it all And then somewhere, somehow, some way Those feelings began to fade And somewhere, somehow, some way She was gone

[Verse 2] When I was young Got in a fight with a boy Just a little somethin’ small Then he became my best friend in the world And with him I’d take on them all And then somewhere, somehow, some way We began to drift away And then somewhere, somehow, some way My friend was gone

[Chorus Chords: G F#/D Em D C] We were oh so young (4x)

[Bridge Chords: C D G D C]

[Bridge] Once upon a time Once upon a long, long time (improvise)

[Verse 3] When I was young My grandfather died Of just a little somethin’ small It made me think of everyone in the world And the things that are shared by us all And then somewhere, somehow, some way It became too much to take Because somewhere, somehow, some way We’ll be gone

[Chorus]

[Outro (same chords as Bridge)] Once upon a time Once upon a long, long time (improvise)
