Verse 1
[D]Long long a[C]go
In a [F]make believe-like [G]land
[F]Outside of a [G]village
Near a [C]river birch [G]stand
There [D]in a small [C]cottage
Lived a [F]small fami[G]ly.
They were [F]meek they were [G]humble
But [D]they lived happily.
/------------\
Chorus 1
A [F]simpler world indeed
With[C]out what some have now
The [G]good, bad
And the con[D]tent.
They [F]lived in their world
Filled with [C]many simple things
And [G]many simple times
All well [C]spent.
/---------\
Verse 2
The [D]time passed a[C]long
And [F]other people [G]found
The [F]quaint little [G]village
So [C]far from any [G]town,
And they [D]came one by [C]one,
Then they [F]came two by [G]two
To [F]live in that [G]village
Hoping [D]they’d be happy too.
/------------\
Chorus 2
So [F]as the simple village
Was be[C]ginning to expand,
They [G]tried to hold on
What made it [D]so,
And it [F]grew with new people,
And it [C]spread over the land
Until it [G]grew into a place,
They didn’t [C]know.
/---------\
Verse 3
Now the [D]village is a [C]town
[F]Far from quaint and [G]slow,
More [F]people come to [G]live there,
But [C]some who lived there [G]go,
And they [D]search for a [C]place
Like the [F]village they once [G]knew,
[F]Looking for the [G]magic
That‘s now [D]lost to those few.
/------------\
Chorus 3
But the [F]magic once it’s gone
Is [C]hard to recreate,
Like that [G]feeling of contentment
They once [D]knew.
The only [F]way to start again
Is to [C]set aside the past
You [G]can’t create what’s gone
But you [C]can build a[G]new.[D]
