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

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
