[Intro 1]
[Em][G][C][D]
[Em][G][C]

[Chorus 1]
[Em]Once I was seven years [G]old
my momma told [C]me
Go make yourself some friends
or you'll be [D]lonely
[Em]Once I was seven years [G]old[C]

[Verse 1]
[Em]It was a big big world[G],
but we thought we were bigger
[C]Pushing each other to the limits,
we were [D]learning quicker
[Em]By eleven smoking herb[G]
and drinking burning liquor
[C]Never rich so we were out
to make that [D]steady figure

[Chorus 2]
[Em]Once I was eleven years [G]old
my daddy told [C]me
Go get yourself a wife
or you'll be [D]lonely
[Em]Once I was eleven years [G]old[C]

[Verse 2]
[Em]I always had that drea[G]m
like my daddy before me
[C]So I started writing songs,
I started [D]writing stories
[Em]Something about the glory,
[G]just always seemed to bore me
[C]'Cause only those I really love
will ever [D]really know me

[Chorus 3]
[Em]Once I was twenty years [G]old,
my story got [C]told
Before the morning sun,
when life was [D]lonely
[Em]Once I was twenty years [G]old[C]

[Verse 3]
[Em]I only see my goal[G]s,
I don't believe in failure
[C]'Cause I know the smallest voices,
they can [D]make it major
[Em]I got my boys with me
[G]at least those in favor
[C]And if we don't meet before I leave,
I hope I'll [D]see you later

[Chorus 4]
[Em]Once I was twenty years [G]old,
my story got [C]told
I was writing 'bout everything,
I saw [D]before me
[Em]Once I was twenty years [G]old[C]

[Chorus 5]
[Em]Soon we'll be thirty years [G]old,
our songs have been [C]sold
We've traveled around the world
and we're still [D]roaming
[Em]Soon we'll be thirty years [G]old[C]

[Verse 4]
[Em]I'm still learning about life
[G]my woman brought children for me
[C]So I can sing them all my songs
And I can [D]tell them stories
[Em]Most of my boys are with me
[G]Some are still out seeking glory
[C]And some I had to leave behind
My brother [G]I'm still sorry

[Bridge 1]
[C]Soon I'll be sixty years [Em]old,
my daddy got sixty[D]one
Remember life and then your
[G]life becomes a better one
[C]I made the man so happy
[D]when I wrote a [Em]letter once
[B]I hope my children come and visit,

[Bridge 2]
once or twice a month
[C]Soon I'll be sixty years [Em]old,
will I think the world is [D]cold
Or will I have a lot of [G]children
who can warm me
[C]Soon I'll be sixty years [Em]old
[C][D]

[Chorus 6]
[Em]Soon I'll be sixty years [G]old,
will I think the world is [C]cold
Or will I have a lot of children
who can [D]warm me
[Em]Soon I'll be sixty years [G]old[C]

[Chorus 7]
[Em]Once I was seven years [G]old,
my momma told [C]me
Go make yourself some friends
or you'll be [D]lonely
[Em]Once I was seven years [G]old[C]
[Em]Once I was seven years [G]old
