Once upon a time, not so long ago

 7  7  -6*  6   6   -5  6  6-5-4
Tom-my used to work on the docks 
7    7    -6* 6    6
Un-ion's been on strike 
 7    7  -6*  6   6
He's down on his luck 
 -4  -332  -4  -3-4
It's tough so tough 

7  7   -6*   6   6  -5  6  6-5-4
Gi-na works the din-er all day 
 7    7  -6*  6   6
Work-ing for her man 
-6*   7    -6*   6   6
She brings home her pay
-4  -332 -4  -3-4                                    
For love for love

-4  -5    6   -4

6   6    6   6  -5 -5    -5
It does-n’t make a dif-'frence 
-5 -4  -5  -5 6   6
If we make it or not

We've got each oth-er 
-4    -5   6 -4  -33 -3 3
and that's a lot for love 
 -6*   7  -6* 6  6
We'll give it a shot

Tom-my's got his six string in hock 
 7   7    -6*  6  6
Now he's hold-ing in 
 7   7    7  7   -6* 6   6
what he used to make it talk 
-4 -332    -4   -3-4
So tough  It's tough 

7  7    -6*  6   6   -5  6  6
Gi-na dreams of run-ning a-way 
 7    7    7  -6*  6    6
When she cries in the night 
-6* -6*  7  -6*  6  6 
Tom-my whis-pers ba-by 
 -4 -332   -4  -3-4
it's O K  Some day
