 D#m                      F#
Once I was seven years old,
               B
my momma told me,
                       C#
go make yourself some friends or youʼll be lonely
 D#m                    F#  B
once I was Seven years old
 D#m         C#        F#
It was a big big world,
                B
but we thought we were bigger.
                            C#
Pushing each other to the limits,

we were learning quicker.
 D#m            C#
By eleven smoking herb
              F#
and drinking burning liquor
 B                              C#
Never rich so we were out to make that steady figure

 D#m                  C#    F#
Once I was eleven years old,
               B
my daddy told me,
                   C#
go get yourself a wife or youʼll be lonely.

 D#m              C#     F#
I always have that dream
                      B
like my Daddy before me

So Iʼm started writing songs

Iʼll starting writing stories
 D#m            C#          F#
Something about the glory,
                       B
just always seemed to bore me,
                           C#
Cause only those I really love

will ever really know me

 D#m                  C#    F#
Once I was twenty years old,
               B

                    C#
before the morning sun, when life was lonely.
 D#m                  C#   F# B
Once I was twenty years old
 D#m               C#
I only seek my goals,
           F#
I donʼt believe in failure.
 B                           C#
Cause I know the smallest voices,

they can making major,
 D#m                   C#              F#
I got my boys with me at least those in favour
 B                              C#
and if we donʼt see before I leave,

I hope to see you later.
