D G D                                 G         D   
■ ■ ■ I've been lately thinking about my life's time
                                      G   
All the things I've done and how it's been
    D                         G      D   
And I can't help believing in my own mind
                         G         
I know I'm gonna hate to see it end
D                           G                D   
I've seen a lot of sunshine slept out in the rain
                     G            
Spent a night or two all on my own
D                              G   D                  
I've known my lady's pleasures had myself some friends
                        G             
And spent a time or two in my own home
                 A               D                G  
I have to say it now it's been a good life all in all
            D              Bm             Em     A
It's really fine to have a chance to hang around ■
G                    A    A7  D                 G   
And lie there by the fire and watch the evening tire
             D                  Bm7 
While all my friends and my old lady
Bm      Em            A      A7
Sit and pass the pipe around ■ 


[Chorus]
            G                     D        F#m
And talk of poems and prayers and promises ■  
    Em             D         
And things that we believe in
             D                 
How sweet it is to love someone
G                  A   
How right it is to care
G                        F#m       Em
How long it's been since yesterday ■ 
           D       
What about tomorrow
                          Dmaj7
And what about our dreams ■    
    Em7              A       
And all the memories we share

[Verse]
                      G       D   G                 D   
The days they pass so quickly now nights are seldom long
                                      G   
And time around me whispers when it's cold
D                           G                 D    
Changes somehow frighten me ■ still I have to smile
                           G          
It turns me on to think of growing old
D                                   
For though my life's been good to me
G                        D 
There's still so much to do
                                 G    
So many things my mind has never known
D                              G            D   
I'd like to raise a family I'd like to sail away


[Chorus]
                                      G   
And dance across the mountains on the moon
                 A        A7     D                G  
I have to say it now it's been a good life all in all
            D                Bm7       Bm   Em     A
It's really fine to have the chance to hang around ■
G                    A    A7  D                 G   
And lie there by the fire and watch the evening tire
             D                  Bm7  Bm
While all my friends and my old lady ■ 
        Em            A7     A
Sit and pass the pipe around ■
            G                     F#m     
And talk of poems and prayers and promises
Em                    D         
■  And things that we believe in
                   D           
How sweet it is to love someone
G                  A   
How right it is to care
G                        F#m       Em
How long it's been since yesterday ■ 
           D       
What about tomorrow
               D     
What about our dreams
    Em7              A7       D G D
And all the memories we share ■ ■ ■
