Intro: D Em7 G | C C C D Em7 G | C Chorus: Em7 G Once I was seven years old, C My mama told me, “Go make yourself some friends D Or you’ll be lonely”, Em7 G C Once I was seven years old. Em D G It was a big, big world, C But we thought we were bigger, Pushing each other to the limits, D Em 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: Em D G Once I was eleven years old, C My daddy told me, “Go get yourself a wife D Or you’ll be lonely”, Em D G Once I was eleven years old. Instrumental: C C C C Em D G I always had that dream C Like my daddy before me, So I started writing songs, D Em 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: Em7 D G Once I was twenty years old, C My story got told Before the morning sun, D When life was lonely, Em7 D G Once I was twenty years old. C (Lukas Graham!) Em D G I only see my goals, C I don’t believe in failure, ‘Cause I know the smallest voices, D Em 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: Em7 D G Once I was twenty years old, C My story got told, I was writing ‘bout everything, D I saw before me, Em7 D G C Once I was twenty years old. Em7 D G Soon we’ll be thirty years old, C Our songs have been sold, We’ve traveled around the world D And we’re still roaming, Em7 D G C Soon we’ll be thirty years old. Em 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. Em 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 Em 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 Em When I wrote a letter once, B7 I hope, my children come And visit once or twice a month.
