Verse one 
Cm                              Fm6 
Once upon a summertime IF you recall 
              G7                   Cm7 
We stopped beside a little flower stall 
           Cm6                       D7 
A bunch of bright forget-me-nots was all 
            G7/9-  G7 
You'd let me buy you 

Verse two 
Gm7/C       C7         C7/9- F7M   
Once upon a summertime like today 
               Bb9             C7M   
We laughed the happy afternoon away 
            Am7                    D7 
And stole a kiss in ev'ry street cafe 

Interlude: G7 G7/9- 

Verse three 
C7M             Am7                       Dm7 
You were sweet er than the blossom son the tree 
          G7                    C 
I was as proud as any man could be 
            Am7                    Dm7    G7 
As if the may or had offered me the key to Paris 

Verse four 
Gm7/C        C9              C7       F 
Now, another winter time has come and gone 
             Bb9                        C7M 
The pigeons feeding in the square have flown 
        Am7                      D7 
But I remember when the vespers chime 
             Dm7    G9   G7/9-    C 
You loved me once upon a summertime 
Gm7/C        C9              C7       F 
Now, another winter time has come and gone 
             Bb9                        C7M 
The pigeons feeding in the square have flown 
        Am7                      D7 
But I remember when the vespers chime 
             Dm7    G9   G7/9-    C 
You loved me once upon a summertime
