Once I was seven years old
              C
my momma told me
                                           D
go make yourself some friends or you'll 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

Pushing each other to the limits
         D                  Em
we were learning quicker
          D      G
By eleven smoking herb
                             C
and drinking burning liquor
                                       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 you'll 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 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

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  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                           C
I got my boys with me at least those in favor

and if we don´t meet before I leave
         D
I hope I see you later

Once I was twenty years old

Em               D     G
Soon we´ll be 30 years old
                    C
our songs have been sold

we've traveled around the world
                D
and we´re still roaming
Em               D     G      C
Soon we´ll be 30 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

C                  D     Em
Soon I´ll be sixty years old
