[Intro]
Em G Cmaj7 D
Em G Cmaj7
[Chorus 1]
Em G Cmaj7
Once I was seven years old my momma told me
D
Go make yourself some friends or you'll be lonely
Em G Cmaj7
Once I was seven years old
[Verse 1]
Em D/F# G
It was a big big world, but we thought we were bigger
Cmaj7 D
Pushing each other to the limits, we were learning quicker
Em D/F# G
By eleven smoking herb and drinking burning liquor
Cmaj7 D
Never rich so we were out to make that steady figure
[Chorus 2]
Em D/F# G Cmaj7
Once I was eleven years old my daddy told me
D
Go get yourself a wife or you'll be lonely
Em D/F# G Cmaj7
Once I was eleven years old
[Verse 2]
Em D/F# G
I always had that dream like my daddy before me
Cmaj7 D
So I started writing songs, I started writing stories
Em D/F# G
Something about that glory just always seemed to bore me
Cmaj7 D
Cause only those I really love will ever really know me
[Chorus 3]
Em D/F# G Cmaj7
Once I was 20 years old, my story got told
D
Before the morning sun, when life was lonely
Em D/F# G Cmaj7
Once I was 20 years old
(Lukas Graham!!!)
[Verse 3]
Em D/F# G
I only see my goals, I don't believe in failure
Cmaj7 D
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 favour
Cmaj7 D
And if we don't meet before I leave, I hope I'll see you later
[Chorus 4]
Em D/F# G Cmaj7
Once I was 20 years old, my story got told
D
I was writing about everything, I saw before me
Em D/F# G Cmaj7
Once I was 20 years old
Em D/F# G Cmaj7
Soon we'll be 30 years old, our songs have been sold
D
We've traveled around the world and we're still roaming
Em D/F# G Cmaj7
Soon we'll be 30 years old
[Verse 4]
Em G
I'm still learning about life
Cmaj7
My woman brought children for me
So I can sing them all my songs
D
And I can tell them stories
Em
Most of my boys are with me
G
Some are still out seeking glory
Cmaj7
And some I had to leave behind
G/B
My brother I'm still sorry
[Bridge]
Cmaj7 D Em D
Soon I'll be 60 years old, my daddy got 61
G/B
Remember life and then your life becomes a better one
Cmaj7 D Em
I made a man so happy when I wrote a letter once
B7sus4 B7
I hope my children come and visit, once or twice a month
[Chorus 5]
Cmaj7 D Em D
Soon I'll be 60 years old, will I think the world is cold
G/B
Or will I have a lot of children who can warm me
Cmaj7 D Em Cmaj7 D
Soon I'll be 60 years old
[Chorus 6]
Em D/F# G Cmaj7
Soon I'll be 60 years old, will I think the world is cold
D
Or will I have a lot of children who can hold me
Em D/F# G
Soon I'll be 60 years old
[Chorus 7]
Em G Cmaj7
Once I was seven years old, my momma told me
D
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
