Chorus:
Gm7 Bb/F
Once I was seven years old,
Ebmaj9
My mama told me,
“Go make yourself some friends
F
Or you’ll be lonely”,
Gm7 Bb Ebmaj9
Once I was seven years old.
Gm F/A Bb
It was a big, big world,
Eb
But we thought we were bigger,
Pushing each other to the limits,
F Gm
We were learning quicker,
F/A Bb
By eleven smoking herb
Eb
And drinking burning liquor,
Never rich so we were out
F
To make that steady figure.
Chorus:
Gm F/A Bb
Once I was eleven years old,
Eb
My daddy told me,
“Go get yourself a wife
F
Or you’ll be lonely”,
Gm F/A Bb
Once I was eleven years old.

Gm F/A Bb
I always had that dream
Eb
Like my daddy before me,
So I started writing songs,
F Gm
I started writing stories.
F/A Bb
Something about that glory,
Eb
Just always seemed to bore me,
‘Cause only those I really love
F
Will ever really know me.
Chorus:
Gm7 F/A Bb
Once I was twenty years old,
Ebmaj9
My story got told
Before the morning sun,
F
When life was lonely,
Gm7 F/A Bb
Once I was twenty years old.
Ebmaj9
(Lukas Graham!)
Gm F/A Bb
I only see my goals,
Eb
I don’t believe in failure,
‘Cause I know the smallest voices,
F Gm
They can make it major.
F/A Bb
I got my boys with me
Eb
At least those in favor
And if we don’t meet before I leave,
F
I hope I’ll see you later.
Chorus:
Gm7 F/A Bb
Once I was twenty years old,
Ebmaj9
My story got told,
I was writing ‘bout everything,
F
I saw before me,
Gm7 F/A Bb Ebmaj9
Once I was twenty years old.
Gm7 F/A Bb
Soon we’ll be thirty years old,
Ebmaj9
Our songs have been sold,
We’ve traveled around the world
F
And we’re still roaming,
Gm7 F/A Bb Ebmaj9
Soon we’ll be thirty years old.
Gm Bb
I’m still learning about life,
Eb
My woman brought children for me,
So I can sing them all my songs
F
And I can tell them stories.
Gm
Most of my boys are with me,
Bb Eb
Some are still out seeking glory,
And some I had to leave behind,
Bb/D
My brother, I’m still sorry.
Bridge:
Eb F Gm
Soon I’ll be sixty years old,
F
My daddy got sixty-one,
Remember, life and then
Bb/D
Your life becomes a better one.
Eb
I made a man so happy
F Gm
When I wrote a letter once,
D7sus4
I hope, my children come
D7
And visit once or twice a month.
Chorus:
Ebmaj F Gm
Soon I’ll be sixty years old,
F
Will I think the world is cold
Bb/D
Or will I have a lot of children
Who can warm me?
Ebmaj F Gm Ebmaj9
Soon I’ll be sixty years old.
Gm7 F/A Bb
Soon I’ll be sixty years old,
Ebmaj9
Will I think the world is cold
Or will I have a lot of children
F
Who can hold me?
Gm7 F/A Bb Ebmaj9
Soon I’ll be sixty years old.

My mama told me,
“Go make yourself some friends
F
Or you’ll be lonely”,

Once I was seven years old.
