     G#m 
     No time before it's too soon 
     B 
     No time after it's too late

     Time's getting old, time's over now 
     F#m 
     Don't try to be on time 
     A 
     Don't try to run after time 
     C                  C#m 
     Time's getting on, time's over now 
 
Chorus: 
 
           G#m 
     I'm a little boy, you're a little girl, once upon a time 
           B 
     I'm a little boy, you're a little girl, once upon a time 
     D                   D#m 
     Time's getting on, time's over now 
           F#m 
     I'm a little boy, you're a little girl, once upon a time 
           A 
     I'm a little boy, you're a little girl, once upon a time 
     C                  C#m 
     Time's getting on, time's over now
