SOME PEOPLE GET A CHEAP LAUGH BREAKING UP SPEED LIMIT
SCARING A PEDESTRIAN ON FOR A MINUTE
CROSSING UP PROGRESS, DRIVING ON THE GRASS
LEAVING JUST ENUFFA ROOM TO PASS
SOMEDAY DRIVER NEVER TOOK A TEST
OH YEAH! ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST
THEY SAY ITS NO USE SAYING THAT YOU DONT KNOW NOTHING
STILL GONNA GET YOU IF YOU DONT KNOW SOMETHING
SITTING ON A FENCE, THAT'S A DANGEROUS CALL
YEAH YOU COULD EVEN CATCH A BULLET FROM THE PEACE KEEPING FORCE
EVEN A HERO GETS A BULLET IN THE CHEST
OH YEAH, ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST

Am / F (double time rythym)

MOTHER MARY YOUR CHILDREN ARE SLAUGHTERED
SOMEDAY YOUR MAMA'S GONNA LOCK UP YOUR DAUGHTER
WHO'S PROTECTING THE INNER GENTEEL
IT SPELLS TROUBLE IN THE LAND OF PLENTY
TELL ME HOW WE GONNA DO OUT SPARES '
YEAH, YOU GUESS… ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST
OH YEAH, ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST
OH YEAH ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST
OH YEAH, ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST

ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE, ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST
