Chorus 1:
Gm                      Bb
Once I was seven years old
              Eb
my momma told me
                                           F
go make yourself some friends or you'll be lonely
Gm                      Bb           Eb
once I was seven years old

Verse 1:
Gm            F   Bb
It was a big big world
                                Eb
but we thought we were bigger

Pushing each other to the limits
         F                  Gm
we were learning quicker
          F      Bb
By eleven smoking herb
                             Eb
and drinking burning liquor
                                       F
Never rich so we were out to make that steady figure

Chorus 2:
Gm                F     Bb
Once I was eleven years old
              Eb
my daddy told me
                                    F
go get yourself a wife or you'll be lonely
Gm                F     Bb     Eb
Once I was eleven years old

Verse 2:
Gm            F    Bb
I always have that dream
                         Eb
like my Daddy before me

So I started writing songs
          F                Gm
I started writing stories
                     F  Bb
Something about that glory
                              Eb
just always seemed to bore me

Cause only those I really love
          F
will ever really know me

Chorus 3:
Gm                F     Bb
Once I was twenty years old
             Eb
my story got told
                                      F
before the morning sun, when life was lonely
Gm                F     Bb     Eb
Once I was twenty years old

Verse 3:
Gm           F  Bb
  I only see my goals
                              Eb
I don't believe in failure

Cause I know the smallest voices
         F               Gm
they can make it major
              F   Bb                           Eb
I got my boys with me at least those in favor

and if we don´t meet before I leave
         F
I hope I see you later

Chorus 4:
Gm                F     Bb
Once I was twenty years old
             Eb
my story got told

I was writing about everything
        F
I saw before me
Gm                F     Bb       Eb
Once I was twenty years old

Chorus 5:
Gm               F     Bb
Soon we´ll be 30 years old
                    Eb
our songs have been sold

we've traveled around the world
                F
and we´re still roaming
Gm               F     Bb      Eb
Soon we´ll be 30 years old

Bridge:
Gm                           Bb
I´m still learning about life
                                Eb
my woman brought children for me

so I can sing them all my songs
          F
and I can tell them stories
Gm
  Most of my boys are with me
Bb                               Eb
some are still out seeking glory

And some I had to leave behind
            Bb
my brother, I´m still sorry

Chorus 6:
Eb                  F     Gm
Soon I´ll be sixty years old
                   F
my daddy got sixty-one
                            Bb
remember life and then your life

becomes a better one
Eb
  I made a man so happy
F              Gm
when I wrote a letter once
Dsus4                       D
I hope my children come and visit

once or twice a month

Chorus 7:
Eb                  F     Gm
Soon I´ll be sixty years old
                          F
will I think the world is cold
                        Bb
or will I have a lot of children who can warm me
Eb                  F     Gm      Eb
Soon I´ll be sixty years old

Gm                 F     Bb
Soon I´ll be sixty years old
                          Eb
will I think the world is cold

or will I have a lot of children
        F
who can warm me
Gm                 F     Bb       Eb
Soon I´ll be sixty years old

go make yourself some friends or you'll be lonely
