      Am                                       D
Some people get a cheap laugh breaking up the speed limit
 Am                            D
Scaring the pedestrians for a minute
 Am                                   G
Crossing up progress driving on the grass
 D                           Am
Leaving just enough room to pass
 C                          Am
Sunday driver never took a test
   Dm    G                       Am
Oh yeah, once upon a time in the west

Yes and it's no use saying
That you don't know nothing
It's still going to get you if you don't do something
Sitting on a fence that's a dangerous course
Oh, you could even catch a bullet
From the peace-keeping force
Even the hero gets a bullet in the chest
Oh yes, once upon a time in the west

Mother Mary your children are slaughtered
Some of you mothers ought to lock up your daughters
Who's protecting the innocenti
Heap big trouble in the land of plenty
Tell me how we're going to do what's best
You guessed: once upon a time in the west

   Dm    G                       Am
Oh yeah, once upon a time in the west  - x4
