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

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

 Em                  D    G
Once I was eleven years old,
               C
my daddy told me,
                   D
go get yourself a wife or youʼll be lonely.

 Em                  D    G  C
Once I was eleven years old

 Em              D     G
I always have that dream
                      C
like my Daddy before me

So Iʼm started writing songs

Iʼll starting writing stories
 Em            D          G
Something about the glory,
                       C
just always seemed to bore me,
                           D
Cause only those I really love

will ever really know me

 Em                  D    G
Once I was twenty years old,
               C
my story got told,
                    D
before the morning sun, when life was lonely.
 Em                  D   G C
Once I was twenty years old
 Em               D
I only seek my goals,
           G
I donʼt believe in failure.
 C                           D
Cause I know the smallest voices,

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

I hope to see you later.
