Once Upon A Time

this is a cover the gaslight anthem did of robert bradley’s blackwater surprise’s "once upon a time" . it’s a pretty neat song and i think this is pretty close . played in D standard tuning ( D , G , C , F , A , D ) . these are just the chords , edited from wraith88’s tab which also has some of the lead parts . some chords i think he got wrong ironed out , as well as put into D standard because that’s by far the easiest way to play it without too many barre chords etc . C Am F C once upon a time , when i was in high school C Am F C i was in love with you , lady and you treated me so cool . C Am F C i was drivin’ a chevy ’72 C Am F C had 4 on the floor , girl , a hundred 20 it would do G Am C i remember marvin gaye , singin’ , what’s goin on?
