Judy Collins - Once I Was
CAPO: 1st Fret
[Intro]
G C G C G
[Verse 1]
C G C G
Once I was a soldier, and I fought on foreign sands for you
C G C G
Once I was a hunter, and I brought home fresh meat for you
C G C G
Once I was a lover, and I searched behind your eyes for you
C G C Em
Soon there'll be another, to tell you I was just a lie
[Chorus]
G C D Em
And sometimes___ I wonder, just for a while
G D C G C G
Will you ever___ remember me____
[Verse 2]
C G C G
And though you have forgotten all of our rubbish dreams
C G C G
I find myself searching through the ashes of our ruins
C G C G
For the days when we smiled and the hours that ran wild
C G C Em
With the magic of our eyes and the silence of our words
[Chorus]
G C D Em
And sometimes___ I wonder, just for a while
G D C
Will you ever___ remember me____
Remember me
G C G
Remember me
