Intro: D#
       Fm7 G# | C#maj C#maj C#maj D#
       Fm7 G# | C#maj

Chorus:
     Fm7                    G#  
     Once I was seven years old,
                  C#maj 
     My mama told me,
     “Go make yourself some friends
                  D#
     Or you’ll be lonely”,
     Fm7                    G#   C#maj 
     Once I was seven years old.

Fm            D#  G#
It was a big, big world,
                           C#
But we thought we were bigger,
Pushing each other to the limits,
        D#            Fm
We were learning quicker,
          D#      G#
By eleven smoking herb
                         C#
And drinking burning liquor,
Never rich so we were out
             D#
To make that steady figure.

Chorus:
     Fm                D#    G#
     Once I was eleven years old,
                   C#
     My daddy told me,
     “Go get yourself a wife
                  D#
     Or you’ll be lonely”,
     Fm                D#    G#
     Once I was eleven years old.

Instrumental: C#maj C#maj C#maj C#maj

Fm           D#   G#
I always had that dream
                      C#
Like my daddy before me,
So I started writing songs,
          D#           Fm
I started writing stories.
                     D#  G#
Something about that glory,
                            C#
Just always seemed to bore me,
‘Cause only those I really love
          D#
Will ever really know me.

Chorus:
     Fm7               D#    G#
     Once I was twenty years old,
                  C#maj 
     My story got told
     Before the morning sun,
               D#
     When life was lonely,
     Fm7               D#    G#
     Once I was twenty years old.
            C#maj 
     (Lukas Graham!)

Fm         D#  G#
I only see my goals,
                        C#
I don’t believe in failure,
‘Cause I know the smallest voices,
         D#         Fm
They can make it major.
              D#  G#
I got my boys with me
                     C#
At least those in favor
And if we don’t meet before I leave,
            D#
I hope I’ll see you later.

Chorus:
     Fm7               D#    G#
     Once I was twenty years old,
                  C#maj 
     My story got told,
     I was writing ‘bout everything,
             D#
     I saw before me,
     Fm7               D#    G#   C#maj 
     Once I was twenty years old.

     Fm7                  D#    G#
     Soon we’ll be thirty years old,
                         C#maj 
     Our songs have been sold,
     We’ve traveled around the world
                     D#
     And we’re still roaming,
     Fm7                  D#    G#   C#maj 
     Soon we’ll be thirty years old.

Fm                       G#
I’m still learning about life,
                              C#
My woman brought children for me,
So I can sing them all my songs
          D#
And I can tell them stories.

Fm
Most of my boys are with me,
G#                            C#
Some are still out seeking glory,
And some I had to leave behind,
            G#  
My brother, I’m still sorry.

Bridge:
   C#                 D#    Fm
   Soon I’ll be sixty years old,
                      D#
   My daddy got sixty-one,
   Remember, life and then
        G#  
   Your life becomes a better one.
 C#
   I made a man so happy
   D#             Fm
   When I wrote a letter once,
 C7sus4
   I hope, my children come
       C7
   And visit once or twice a month.

Chorus:
     C#maj              D#    Fm
     Soon I’ll be sixty years old,
                               D#
     Will I think the world is cold
                             G#  
     Or will I have a lot of children
     Who can warm me?
     C#maj              D#    Fm   C#maj 
     Soon I’ll be sixty years old.

     Fm7                D#    G#
     Soon I’ll be sixty years old,
                               C#maj 
     Will I think the world is cold
     Or will I have a lot of children
             D#
     Who can hold me?
     Fm7                D#    G#   C#maj 
     Soon I’ll be sixty years old.

     Fm                     G#
     Once I was seven years old,
                  C#
     My mama told me,
     “Go make yourself some friends
                  D#
     Or you’ll be lonely”,
     Fm7              D#    G#   C#maj 
     Once I was seven years old,
     Fm7              D#    G#
     Once I was seven years old.
