[Intro]

Gm A# D#maj7 F
Gm A# D#maj7

[Chorus 1]

Gm A# D#maj7
Once I was seven years old my momma told me
F
Go make yourself some friends or you'll be lonely
Gm A# D#maj7
Once I was seven years old

[Verse 1]

Gm F/A A#
It was a big big world, but we thought we were bigger
D#maj7 F
Pushing each other to the limits, we were learning quicker
Gm F/A A#
By eleven smoking herb and drinking burning liquor
D#maj7 F
Never rich so we were out to make that steady figure

[Chorus 2]

Gm F/A A# D#maj7
Once I was eleven years old my daddy told me
F
Go get yourself a wife or you'll be lonely
Gm F/A A# D#maj7
Once I was eleven years old

[Verse 2]

Gm F/A A#
I always had that dream like my daddy before me
D#maj7 F
So I started writing songs, I started writing stories
Gm F/A A#
Something about that glory just always seemed to bore me
D#maj7 F
Cause only those I really love will ever really know me

[Chorus 3]

Gm F/A A# D#maj7
Once I was 20 years old, my story got told
F
Before the morning sun, when life was lonely
Gm F/A A# D#maj7
Once I was 20 years old
(Lukas Graham!!!)

[Verse 3]

Gm F/A A#
I only see my goals, I don't believe in failure
D#maj7 F
Cause I know the smallest voices, they can make it major
Gm F/A A#
I got my boys with me at least those in favour
D#maj7 F
And if we don't meet before I leave, I hope I'll see you later

[Chorus 4]
Gm F/A A# D#maj7
Once I was 20 years old, my story got told
F
I was writing about everything, I saw before me
Gm F/A A# D#maj7
Once I was 20 years old
Gm F/A A# D#maj7
Soon we'll be 30 years old, our songs have been sold
F
We've traveled around the world and we're still roaming
Gm F/A A# D#maj7
Soon we'll be 30 years old

[Verse 4]

Gm A#
I'm still learning about life
D#maj7
My woman brought children for me
So I can sing them all my songs
F
And I can tell them stories
Gm
Most of my boys are with me
A#
Some are still out seeking glory
D#maj7
And some I had to leave behind
A#/D
My brother I'm still sorry

[Bridge]

D#maj7 F Gm F
Soon I'll be 60 years old, my daddy got 61
A#/D
Remember life and then your life becomes a better one
D#maj7 F Gm
I made a man so happy when I wrote a letter once
D7sus4 D7
I hope my children come and visit, once or twice a month

[Chorus 5]

D#maj7 F Gm F
Soon I'll be 60 years old, will I think the world is cold
A#/D
Or will I have a lot of children who can warm me
D#maj7 F Gm D#maj7 F
Soon I'll be 60 years old

[Chorus 6]

Gm F/A A# D#maj7
Soon I'll be 60 years old, will I think the world is cold
F
Or will I have a lot of children who can hold me
Gm F/A A#
Soon I'll be 60 years old

[Chorus 7]

Gm A# D#maj7
Once I was seven years old, my momma told me
F
Go make yourself some friends or you'll be lonely
Gm F/A A# D#maj7
Once I was seven years old
Gm F/A A#
