Once Upon A Time In New York City Ukulele

(ver. 1)
Huey Lewis And The News
Intro: D A Bm G A D

Verse 1:
         A
Now it's always once upon a time
            D
In New York City
       G                                       D
It's a big old, bad old, tough old town, it's true
       Bm
But beginnings are contagious there
        Bm
They're always setting stages there
         G                             A
They're always turning pages there for you


Verse 2 (same chords):
         A   
Ain't it great the way it all begins
            D
in New York City?
        G                                 D
Right away you're making time and making friends
        Bm
No one cares where you were yesterday
         Bm
If they pick you out you're on your way
     G                           A
To a once upon a time that never ends


Chorus 1:
     A      D
So, Oliver, don't be shy
               G
Get out there, let go and try
               D
Believing that you're the guy
                 G
They're dying to see
G                        
   'Cause a dream's no crime
D
   Not once upon a time
A           (G)      (A)       D
 Once upon a time in New York City


Verse 3 (same chords):
        A
If it's always once upon a time
            D
In New York City
         G                                     D
Why does nightfall find you feeling so alone?
         Bm
How could anyone stay starry eyed
         Bm
When it's raining cats and dogs outside
         G                                 A
And the rain is saying, "Now you're on your own"?


Chorus 2 (same chords):
     A       D
So, Oliver, don't be scared
                 G
Though yesterday no one cared
                     D
They're getting your place prepared
                  G
Where you want to be
G
   Keep your dream alive
D
Dreaming is still how the strong survive
A            (G)     (A)       D
 Once upon a time in New York City


G
   Keep your dream alive
D
Dreaming is still how the strong survive
A            (G)     (A)       D
 Once upon a time in New York City
         A
And it's always once upon a time
             D
In New York City
