Once Upon A Time Chords

   
Once Upon A Time by Robert Bradley's Blackwater Surprise
Charted by: Micbass

----
My first chart here at U-G. I'm deducing chord 
voicing based on the song's structure and bass 
line; the guitar and/or keyboard my occasionally 
play a Bm9 or D6, for example. But this should 
give you the basic structure of the song. 
Play around. Have fun.
