Mr Seley - Once Upon Another Time

      Once Upon Another Time
By: Tom Seley

A                        F#m
Once upon another time
I witnessed a butterfly
Drying off his tinted wings
And heave himself into the sky
He said, “Today is my big goodbye.
You see I’m leavin’ my old-time cacoon behind.”
You know that what goes up falls down
And sooner or later we all come around
Like a boomerang…that never hits the ground
We go around and around and come back with what we found

A                C#m                    D               A
Change is coming, it’s on my mind
A                C#m                    D               E
Change is coming, you can’t rewind
D                                E
Time has a rhythm; history rhymes
                D                       E               A
Change is coming, don’t get left behind (resolve to root)



Recognize, we metamorphisize
And see the same world from very different eyes
From the tadpole swimming to the green frog hop hopping
Everythings’ changing and it’s all non-stoppin’
From the chick to the chicken, from the ocean to the kitchen
Be the fish or go fishin’, livin’ life like a mission
Subtracting by addition.  Multiply and divide
And remember: nothing’s constant but the ocean’s tide (I’m talkin’)

A                 C#m                D            A
Change is coming, it’s on my mind
Change is coming, you can’t rewind
D                                E
Time has a rhythm; history rhymes
               D                      E           A
Change is coming, don’t get left behind
