[Verse 1]
 
Em                      G
Once I was Seven years old, my momma told me,   
 Cmaj7                                      Dadd4
go make yourself some friends or you'll be lonely
Em                      G           Cmaj7
once I was Seven years old
 
Em            D/F#     G               |
It was a big big world,  but we thought we were bigger.
 Cmaj7                                        Dadd4 |
Pushing each other to the limits, we were learning quicker.
Em          D/F#   | G                          |
By eleven smoking herb and drinking burning liquor
Cmaj7                                     Dadd4 |
Never rich so we were out to make that steady figure
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
Em                D/F#            G
Once I was eleven years old, my daddy told me,
Cmaj7                                Dadd4
go get yourself a wife or you'll be lonely.
Em                D/F#      G          Cmaj7
Once I was eleven years old
 
Em            D/F#    G
I always have that dream like my Daddy before me
Cmaj7                                         Dadd4
So I started writing songs, I started writing stories
Em             D/F#           G
Something about the glory, just always seemed to bore me,
Cmaj7                                        Dadd4
Cause only those I really love will ever really know me 
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
Em                D/F#      G
Once I was twenty years old, my story got told,
Cmaj7                       Dadd4
before the morning sun, when life was lonely.
Em                D/F#      G          Cmaj7
Once I was twenty years old
 
Em             D/F#    G
I only see my goals, I don't believe in failure.
Cmaj7                                         Dadd4
Cause I know the smallest voices, they can make it major,
Em                D/F#           G
I got my boys with me at, least those in favor
Cmaj7                                              Dadd4
and if we don´t meet before I leave, I hope to see you later.
 
 
[Verse 4]
 
Em            D/F#            G
Once I was 20 years old my story got told
Cmaj7                                 Dadd4
I was writing about everything I saw before me 
Em             D/F#    G          Cmaj7
Once I was 20 years old
 
Em               D/F#    G
Soon we´ll be 30 years old our songs have been sold
Cmaj7                                       Dadd4
we´ve travel around the world and we´re still roaming
Em               D/F#      G         Cmaj7
Soon we´ll be 30 years old
 
 
[Bridge]
 
Em                        G
I´m still learning about life my woman brought children for me
Cmaj7                                      Dadd4
so I can sing them all my songs and I can tell them stories
Em                         G
Most of my boys are with me some are still out seeking glory
Cmaj7                                        G/B
And some I had to leave behind, my brother I´m still sorry
 
Cmaj7              Dadd4 | Em
Soon I´ll be 60 years old my daddy got 61
D                                          G/B |
remember life and then your life becomes a better one
Cmaj7                    Dadd4             Em |
I made the man so happy when I wrote the letter once
B7sus4                                       B7   |
I hope my children come and visit once or twice a month
Cmaj7              Dadd4  Em |
Soon I´ll be 60 years old will I think the world is cold
D                                     G/B  |
or will I have a lot of children who can warm me?
Cmaj7              Dadd4  Em  | Cmaj7  Dadd4|
Soon I´ll be 60 years old
 
Em                 D/F#    G
Soon I´ll be 60 years old will I think the world is cold
Cmaj7                                    Dadd4
or will I have a lot of children who can warm me?
Em                 D/F#  G       Cmaj7
Soon I´ll be 60 years old
 
 
[Outro]
 
Em                    G
Once I was seven years old, my momma told me,             
Cmaj7                                     Dadd4
go make yourself some friends or you'll be lonely
Em               D/F#   G       Cmaj7
once I was seven years old
Em               D/F#   G
once I was seven years old
