[Verse 1]

Em G
Once I was Seven years old, my momma told me,
Cmaj7 Dadd4
go make yourself some friends or you'll be lonely
Em G Cmaj7
once I was Seven years old

Em D/F# G |
It was a big big world, but we thought we were bigger.
Cmaj7 Dadd4 |
Pushing each other to the limits, we were learning quicker.
Em D/F# | G |
By eleven smoking herb and drinking burning liquor
Cmaj7 Dadd4 |
Never rich so we were out to make that steady figure

[Verse 2]

Em D/F# G
Once I was eleven years old, my daddy told me,
Cmaj7 Dadd4
go get yourself a wife or you'll be lonely.
Em D/F# G Cmaj7
Once I was eleven years old

Em D/F# G
I always have that dream like my Daddy before me
Cmaj7 Dadd4
So I´m started writing songs I started writing stories
Em D/F# G
Something about the glory, just always seemed to bore me,
Cmaj7 Dadd4
Cause only those I really love will ever really know me

[Verse 3]

Em D/F# G
Once I was twenty years old, my story got told,
Cmaj7 Dadd4
before the morning sun, when life was lonely.
Em D/F# G Cmaj7
Once I was twenty years old
Em D/F# G
I only see my goals, I don't believe in failure.
Cmaj7 Dadd4
Cause I know the smallest voices, they can make it major,
Em D/F# G
I got my boys with me at, least those in favor
Cmaj7 Dadd4
and if we don´t meet before I leave, I hope to see you later.

[Verse 4]

Em D/F# G
Once I was 20 years old my story got told
Cmaj7 Dadd4
I was writing about everything I saw before me
Em D/F# G Cmaj7
Once I was 20 years old

Em D/F# G
Soon we´ll be 30 years old our songs have been sold
Cmaj7 Dadd4
we´ve travel around the world and we´re still roaming
Em D/F# G Cmaj7
Soon we´ll be 30 years old

[Bridge]

Em G
I´m still learning about life my woman brought children for me
Cmaj7 Dadd4
so I can sing them all my songs and I can tell them stories
Em G
Most of my boys are with me some are still out seeking glory
Cmaj7 G/B
And some I had to leave behind, my brother I´m still sorry

Cmaj7 Dadd4 | Em
Soon I´ll be 60 years old my daddy got 61
D G/B |
remember life and then your life becomes a better one
Cmaj7 Dadd4 Em |
I made the man so happy when I wrote the letter once
B7sus4 B7 |
I hope my children come and visit once or twice a month
Cmaj7 Dadd4 Em |
Soon I´ll be 60 years old will I think the world is cold
D G/B |
or will I have a lot of children who can warm me?
Cmaj7 Dadd4 Em | Cmaj7 Dadd4|
Soon I´ll be 60 years old

Em D/F# G
Soon I´ll be 60 years old will I think the world is cold
Cmaj7 Dadd4
or will I have a lot of children who can warm me?
Em D/F# G Cmaj7
Soon I´ll be 60 years old
