Intro: F
       Gm7 Bb/F | Ebmaj9 Ebmaj9 Ebmaj9 F | Gm7 Bb | Ebmaj9

Chorus:
     Gm7                    Bb/F              Ebmaj9
     Once I was seven years old, my mama told me,
                                                 F
     “Go make yourself some friends or you’ll be lonely”,
     Gm7                    Bb   Ebmaj9
     Once I was seven years old.

Gm            F/A Bb                                Eb
It was a big, big world, but we thought we were bigger,
                                          F             Gm
Pushing each other to the limits, we were learning quicker,
          F/A     Bb
By eleven smoking herb
                         Eb
And drinking burning liquor,
                                       F
Never rich so we were out to make that steady figure.

Chorus:
     Gm                F/A   Bb                 Eb
     Once I was eleven years old, my daddy told me,
                                          F
     “Go get yourself a wife or you’ll be lonely”,
     Gm                F/A   Bb   Ebmaj9 Ebmaj Ebmajadd11+ Ebmaj
     Once I was eleven years old.

Gm           F/A  Bb                          Eb
I always had that dream like my daddy before me,
                                      F            Gm
So I started writing songs, I started writing stories.
                     F/A Bb
Something about that glory,
                            Eb
Just always seemed to bore me,
                                          F
‘Cause only those I really love will ever really know me.

Chorus:
     Gm7               F/A   Bb                Ebmaj9
     Once I was twenty years old, my story got told
                                       F
     Before the morning sun, when life was lonely,
     Gm7               F/A   Bb
     Once I was twenty years old.
            Ebmaj9
     (Lukas Graham!)

Gm         F/A Bb                            Eb
I only see my goals, I don’t believe in failure,
                                            F          Gm
‘Cause I know the smallest voices, they can make it major.
              F/A Bb
I got my boys with me
                     Eb
At least those in favor
                                                 F
And if we don’t meet before I leave, I hope I’ll see you later.

Chorus:
     Gm7               F/A   Bb                Ebmaj9
     Once I was twenty years old, my story got told,
                                             F
     I was writing ‘bout everything, I saw before me,
     Gm7               F/A   Bb   Ebmaj9
     Once I was twenty years old.

     Gm7                  F/A   Bb                       Ebmaj9
     Soon we’ll be thirty years old, our songs have been sold,
                                                     F
     We’ve traveled around the world 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                      F
   Soon I’ll be sixty years old, my daddy got sixty-one,
                                Bb/D
   Remember, life and then your life becomes a better one.
 Eb                      F              Gm
   I made a man so happy when I wrote a letter once,
 D7sus4                         D7
   I hope, my children come and visit once or twice a month.

Chorus:
     Ebmaj              F     Gm                             F
     Soon I’ll be sixty years old, 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                             Ebmaj9
     Soon I’ll be sixty years old, will I think the world is cold
                                              F
     Or will I have a lot of children who can hold me?
     Gm7                F/A   Bb   Ebmaj9
     Soon I’ll be sixty years old.

     Gm                     Bb                Eb
     Once I was seven years old, my mama told me,
                                                 F
     “Go make yourself some friends or you’ll be lonely”,
     Gm7              F/A   Bb   Ebmaj9
     Once I was seven years old,
     Gm7              F/A   Bb
     Once I was seven years old.
