[Verse]
Abm7 B                    
Once I was seven years old
             E 
My mama told me
                                           Gb    
Go make yourself some friends or you'll be lonely
Abm7             B         E
Once I was seven years old ■
Gb Abm                  B    
■  ■   It was a big big world
                       B      E
But we thought we were bigger ■
                          E     
Pushing each other to the limits
        Gb       Abm    
We were learning quicker
                  B                         E     
By eleven smoking herb and drinking burning liquor
                                       Gb           
Never rich so we were out to make that steady figure
Abm                     B  
Once I was eleven years old
              E 
My daddy told me
                  E                       
Go get yourself a wife or you'll be lonely
Abm               B         E
Once I was eleven years old ■


[Chorus]
Abm               B    
I always had that dream
B                      
Like my daddy before me
E                         
So I started writing songs
          Gb      Abm    
I started writing stories
                     B                                E 
Something about that glory just always seemed to bore me
                                         Gb            
'cause only those I truly love will ever really know me
Abm7                    B  
Once I was twenty years old
             E   
My story got told
Emaj7                 
Before the morning sun
              Gb    
When life was lonely
Abm7              B        
Once I was twenty years old
Emaj7 E Gb Abm7

[Verse]
              B    
I only see my goals
                   B      
I don't believe in failure
Emaj7                            
'cause I know the smallest voices
         Gb      Abm  
They can make it major
                   B 
I got my boys with me
                  Emaj7 
At least those in favour


[Chorus]
                              Emaj7
And if we don't meet before I leave
            Gb           
I hope I'll see you later
Abm                     B  
Once I was twenty years old
             E   
My story got told
                                     Gb       
I was writing about everything I saw before me
Abm                     B   E
Once I was twenty years old ■


[Verse]
Gb B                             
■  Soon we'll be thirty years old
                    E   
Our songs have been sold
                                                 Gb     
We've travelled around the world and we're still roaming
Abm7          B                E
Soon we'll be thirty years old ■
Gb Abm                      B   
■  I'm still learning about life
   B                            
My woman brought children for me
E                              
So I can sing them all my songs
          Gb        Abm    
And I can tell them stories
     Abm                   
Most of my boys are with me
B                          E    
Some are still out seeking glory
                        E     
And some I had to leave behind
B                      
Brother I'm still sorry
E                        Abm
Soon I'll be sixty years old
             Gb      
My daddy got sixtyone
                            Eb             B      E  
Remember life and then your life becomes a better one
                      Gb             Abm    Eb  
I made a man so happy when I wrote a letter once


[Chorus]
          Ebsus4            Eb                         
I hope my children come and visit once or twice a month
E                        Abm                           Gb  
Soon I'll be sixty years old will I think the world is cold
                        B                       
Or will I have a lot of children who can warm me
E                        Abm
Soon I'll be sixty years old
Emaj7 E Emaj7 E
