INTRO:
C6 G7 C6 G7 C6 G7 C6 G7
VERSE 1:
C6 Once upon a time, I was on my own Once upon a time, like you've never known Dm/G Once upon a time, I would be impressed C6 Once upon a time, my life would be obsessed Dm/G Once upon a time, once upon a day when C6 I was in my prime, once along the way
CHORUS:
F G C If you want to know my secret F G C Don't come running after me F G C For I am just a painter Dm C G7 C6 G7 Passing through in history
VERSE 2:
C6 Yesterday is gone, yesterday's alright Yesterday belongs, in my dreams at night Dm/G Yesterday is swell, yesterday is great C6 Yesterday is strong, remembering can wait Dm/G Once upon a time, once upon a day when C6 I was in my prime, once along the way
CHORUS:
F G C If you want to know an answer F G C I can't turn your life around F G C For I am just a painter Dm C G7 C6 G7 Passing through the underground
VERSE 3:
C6 I was in my stride, always at my game Here comes Mister Cool, along the walk of fame Dm/G I was in demand, always in control C6 The world was in my hands, my touch had turned to gold Dm/G Once upon a time, I was in a daze, when C6 Everyday I turned, hearts along the way
CHORUS:
F G C If you want to know my secret F G C Don't come running after me F G C For I am just a painter Dm C G7 C6 G7 Passing through in history
VERSE 4:
C6 Now that I am old, let me rest a spell All that I am told, I can never tell Dm/G Never in my life, never will it pass C6 I am still alone, remembering at last Dm/G Once upon a time, once upon a day, when C6 I was in my prime, once along the way
CHORUS:
F G C If you want to know an answer F G C I can't turn your life around F G C For I am just a painter Dm C Passing through the underground
CHORUS:
F G C If you want to know my secret F G C Don't come running after me F G C For I am just a painter Dm C G7 C6 G7 Passing through in history
