7 Years chords by Jasmine Thompson

Intro:

G                      Bmin
Once I was seven years old
              Emin
My mama told me
                       Bmin7
"Go make yourself some friends or you'll be lonely"
G                     Bmin
Once I was seven years old


Verse 1:

G       Bmin7        Bmin
It was a big big world
               Emin
But we thought we were bigger
                           Bmin7
Pushing each other to the limits

We were learning quicker
G        Bmin7                         Bmin
By eleven smoking herb and drinking burning liquor
Emin                             Bmin7
Never rich so we were out to make that steady figure


Chorus 2:

G                Bmin7       Bmin
Once I was eleven years old
              Emin
My daddy told me
                  Bmin7
"Go get yourself a wife or you'll be lonely"

G                Bmin7      Bmin
Once I was eleven years old


Verse 2:

G           Bmin7    Bmin
I always had that dream
                     Emin
Like my daddy before me
                     Bmin7
So I started writing songs
Bmin7
I started writing stories
G        Bmin7          Bmin
Something about that glory
                      Emin
Just always seemed to bore me
                           Bmin7
'Cause only those I really love will ever really know me


Chorus 3:

G                Bmin7     Bmin
Once I was twenty years old
             Emin
My story got told
                   Bmin7
Before the morning sun, when life was lonely
G                Bmin7     Bmin
Once I was twenty years old


Verse 3:

G             Bmin7
I only seek my goals
          Bmin
I don't believe in failure
 Emin                          Bmin7
'Cause I know the smallest voices, they can make it major
G                 Bmin7
I got my boys with me
Bmin
At least those in favour
Emin                             Bmin7
And if we don´t meet before I leave, I hope i'll see you later.

Once I was twenty years old
             Emin
My story got told
                        Bmin7
I was writing about everything I saw before me
G                Bmin7     Bmin
Once I was twenty years old


Chorus 5:

G                   Bmin7     Bmin
Soon we´ll be thirty years old
                    Emin
Our songs have been sold
                          Bmin7
We´ve traveled around the world and we´re still roaming
G                   Bmin7     Bmin
Soon we´ll be thirty years old


Verse 4:

G        Bmin7
I´m still learning about life

My woman brought children for me
Emin
So I can sing them all my songs
          Bmin7
And I can tell them stories
G         Bmin7             Bmin
Most of my boys are with me
                           Emin
Some are still out seeking glory

And some I had to leave behind
           Bmin7
My brother I´m still sorry

My daddy got sixty-one
                            Bmin7
Remember life and then your life becomes a better one
G       Bmin7         Bmin
I made a man so happy when I wrote a letter once
Emin                            Bmin7
I hope my children come and visit once or twice a month

Soon I´ll be sixty years old
Bmin
Will I think the world is cold
Emin                                              Bmin7
Or will I have a lot of children who can warm me?
