Once Upon a Star

Once upon a Star
by Dave Robinson, 8 June 2024
intro: Am … C … G … Em …
verse 1
Em like a tale of two fine cities, be-Am-set by civil war
where Em victims can’t be pitied, ‘cos Am no-one understand what for
an C olive leaf is plucked with a twist by a G sniper’s bullet that aimed but missed
yet D music be the food of love on the Em wings of snow-white doves
fill: Am … C … G … Em …
verse 2
a Em knave is tried for a missing pie, Am ‘off with his head’, the queen doth cry
the Em people pause, it’s party time all the Am creatures want what’s yours and mine
no-C-one is executed, side-G-tracked the soldiers are
there was a D certain kind of stupid, Em once upon a star
fill: Am … C … G … Em …
verse 3
all Em life is an illusion, of Am which we make a meal
while Em sewing in confusion, which Am part of this is real?
it C should be very easy, but it’s G we who made it hard
in a D wonderland adventure, every Em character’s a card
end: Am … C … G … Em … (repeat)

The line 'off with his head', truly embodies the whimsical yet dark tone of the story

The lyrics are so clever and filled with references to the story's chaos and #relativeconfusion

[@dr.daverobbo2407]

[@Tuchka2003]

The reference to a certain kind of stupid perfectly captures the nonsensical elements of Wonderland
