[Verse 1]
Cm                               Fm6
Once upon a summertime, if you recall
              G7                   Cm7
We stopped be-side a little flower stall
           Cm6                       D7
A bunch of bright forget-me-nots was all
            G7-9 G7
I'd let you buy me


[Verse 2]
Gm7/C       C7              C7b9   Fmaj7
Once upon a summertime just like today
               Bb9              Cmaj7
We laughed the happy afternoon away
            Am7                    D7   G7 G7-9
And stole a kiss in ev'ry street cafe


[Verse 3]
Cmaj7            Am7                      Dm7
You were sweeter than the blossoms on the tree
         G7                      C
I was as proud as any girl could be
             Am7                   Dm7    G7
As if the mayor had offered me the key to Paris


[Verse 4]
Gm7/C        C9             C7       F
Now, another wintertime has come and gone
            Bb9                        Cmaj7
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


[Verse 5]
Gm7/C        C9             C7       F
Now, another wintertime has come and gone
            Bb9                        Cmaj7
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
