Intro

G           Bm
Once I was seven years old
       Em
My mama told me
            Bm7
"Go make yourself some friends or you'll be lonely"
G           Bm
Once I was seven years old


verse 1

G    Bm7    Bm
It was a big big world
        Em
But we thought we were bigger
              Bm7
Pushing each other to the limits

We were learning quicker
G    Bm7             Bm
By eleven smoking herb and drinking burning liquor
Em               Bm7
Never rich so we were out to make that steady figure


G        Bm7    Bm
Once I was eleven years old
       Em
My daddy told me
         Bm7
"Go get yourself a wife or you'll be lonely"

G        Bm7   Bm
Once I was eleven years old


verse 2

G      Bm7  Bm
I always had that dream
           Em
Like my daddy before me
           Bm7
So I started writing songs
Bm7
I started writing stories
G    Bm7     Bm
Something about that glory
           Em
Just always seemed to bore me
              Bm7
'Cause only those I really love will ever really know me

G        Bm7   Bm
Once I was twenty years old
       Em
My story got told
          Bm7
Before the morning sun, when life was lonely
G        Bm7   Bm
Once I was twenty years old


verse 3

G       Bm7
I only seek my goals
     Bm
I don't believe in failure
 Em             Bm7
'Cause I know the smallest voices, they can make it major
G         Bm7
I got my boys with me
Bm
At least those in favour
Em               Bm7
And if we don´t meet before I leave, I hope i'll see you later.


G        Bm7   Bm
Once I was twenty years old
       Em
My story got told
            Bm7
I was writing about everything I saw before me
G        Bm7   Bm
Once I was twenty years old


G          Bm7   Bm
Soon we´ll be thirty years old
          Em
Our songs have been sold
             Bm7
We´ve traveled around the world and we´re still roaming
G          Bm7   Bm
Soon we´ll be thirty years old


verse 4

G    Bm7
I´m still learning about life
  Bm
My woman brought children for me
Em
So I can sing them all my songs
     Bm7
And I can tell them stories
G     Bm7       Bm
Most of my boys are with me
              Em
Some are still out seeking glory

And some I had to leave behind
      Bm7
My brother I´m still sorry


G         Bm7   Bm
Soon I´ll be sixty years old
          Em
My daddy got sixty-one
              Bm7
Remember life and then your life becomes a better one
G    Bm7     Bm
I made a man so happy when I wrote a letter once
Em              Bm7
I hope my children come and visit once or twice a month


Bridge

G         Bm7
Soon I´ll be sixty years old
Bm
Will I think the world is cold
Em                       Bm7
Or will I have a lot of children who can warm me?
G         Bm7
Soon I´ll be sixty years old
Bm
Will I think the world is cold
Em                       Bm7
Or will I have a lot of children who can warm me?
