Chords with lyrics (Ver. 2)

Capo4

Intro

G+G           B minorBm
Once I was seven years old
       E minorEm
My mama told me
            Bm7Bm7
"Go make yourself some friends or you'll be lonely"
G+G           B minorBm
Once I was seven years old


verse 1

G+G    Bm7Bm7    B minorBm
It was a big big world
        E minorEm
But we thought we were bigger
              Bm7Bm7
Pushing each other to the limits

We were learning quicker
G+G    Bm7Bm7             B minorBm
By eleven smoking herb and drinking burning liquor
E minorEm               Bm7Bm7
Never rich so we were out to make that steady figure

G+G        Bm7Bm7    B minorBm
Once I was eleven years old
       E minorEm
My daddy told me
         Bm7Bm7
"Go get yourself a wife or you'll be lonely"

G+G        Bm7Bm7   B minorBm
Once I was eleven years old


verse 2

G+G      Bm7Bm7  B minorBm
I always had that dream
           E minorEm
Like my daddy before me
           Bm7Bm7
So I started writing songs
Bm7Bm7
I started writing stories
G+G    Bm7Bm7     B minorBm
Something about that glory
           E minorEm
Just always seemed to bore me
              Bm7Bm7
'Cause only those I really love will ever really know me

G+G        Bm7Bm7   B minorBm
Once I was twenty years old
       E minorEm
My story got told
          Bm7Bm7
Before the morning sun, when life was lonely
G+G        Bm7Bm7   B minorBm
Once I was twenty years old

verse 3

G+G       Bm7Bm7
I only seek my goals
     B minorBm
I don't believe in failure
 E minorEm             Bm7Bm7
'Cause I know the smallest voices, they can make it major
G+G         Bm7Bm7
I got my boys with me
B minorBm
At least those in favour
E minorEm               Bm7Bm7
And if we don´t meet before I leave, I hope i'll see you later.


G+G        Bm7Bm7   B minorBm
Once I was twenty years old
       E minorEm
My story got told
            Bm7Bm7
I was writing about everything I saw before me
G+G        Bm7Bm7   B minorBm
Once I was twenty years old


G+G          Bm7Bm7   B minorBm
Soon we´ll be thirty years old
          E minorEm
Our songs have been sold
             Bm7Bm7
We´ve traveled around the world and we´re still roaming
G+G          Bm7Bm7   B minorBm
Soon we´ll be thirty years old


verse 4

G+G    Bm7Bm7
I´m still learning about life
  B minorBm
My woman brought children for me
E minorEm
So I can sing them all my songs
     Bm7Bm7
And I can tell them stories
G+G     Bm7Bm7       B minorBm
Most of my boys are with me
              E minorEm
Some are still out seeking glory

And some I had to leave behind
      Bm7Bm7
My brother I´m still sorry


G+G         Bm7Bm7   B minorBm
Soon I´ll be sixty years old
          E minorEm
My daddy got sixty-one
              Bm7Bm7
Remember life and then your life becomes a better one
G+G    Bm7Bm7     B minorBm
I made a man so happy when I wrote a letter once
E minorEm              Bm7Bm7
I hope my children come and visit once or twice a month


Bridge

Soon I´ll be sixty years old

Will I think the world is cold
E minorEm                       Bm7Bm7
Or will I have a lot of children who can warm me?
G+G         Bm7Bm7
Soon I´ll be sixty years old
B minorBm
Will I think the world is cold
E minorEm                       Bm7Bm7
Or will I have a lot of children who can warm me?
