[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.
[Chorus 4]
G Bmin7 Bmin
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
Bmin
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
[Chorus 6]
G Bmin7 Bmin
Soon I´ll be sixty years old
Emin
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
[Bridge]
G Bmin7
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?
G Bmin7
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?
