Twenty One Two - 7 Years

      [Intro] 
 G5                     A#5
Once I was seven years old,

[Verse 1] 
G5                A#5                                 D#5
It was a big big world, but we thought we were bigger,
                                          F5              G5
Pushing each other to the limits, we were learning quicker,
                   A#5                            D#5
By eleven smoking herb and drinking burning liquor,
                                       F5            G5
Never rich so we were out to make that steady figure,
                     A#5                        D#5
I always had that dream, like my daddy before me,
                                       F5            G5
So I started writing songs, I started writing stories,
                           A#5                         D#5
Something about that glory just always seemed to bore me,
                                          F5           G5 F5
'Cause only those I really love will ever really know me,

[Chorus] 
 D#5              F5    G5                 F5
Once I was seven years old, my daddy told me,
                         A#5/D
"Go make yourself some friends or you'll be lonely."
 D#5              F5    G5    F5
Once I was seven years old, (seven years old)
 D#5               F5    G5                F5
Once I was twenty years old, my story got told,
                    A#5/D
Before the morning sun, when life was lonely,
 D#5            F5       G5    F5
Once I was twenty years old, (twenty years old)

[Verse 2] 
G5             A#5                             D#5
I only see my goals, I don't believe in failure,
                                             F5         G5
'Cause I know the smallest voices, they can make it major,
                     A#5                      D#5
I got my boys with me, at least those in favor,
                                                  F5            G5 F5
And if we don't meet before I leave, I hope I'll see you later,

[Chorus] 
 D#5               F5    G5                F5
Once I was twenty years old, my story got told,
                          A#5/D
I was writing about everything I saw before me,
 D#5               F5    G5    F5
Once I was twenty years old, (twenty years old)
 D#5                  F5    G5                       F5
Soon we'll be thirty years old, our songs have been sold,
                           A#5/D
We've traveled around the world and we're still roaming,
 D#5                  F5   G5    F5
Soon we'll be thirty years old, (thirty years old)

[Breakdown] 
 G5                       A#5
I'm still learning about life,
                                D#5
My woman brought children for me,

So I can sing them all my songs,
           F5              G5
And I can tell them stories,

Most of my boys are with me,
 A#5                           D#5
Some are still out seeking glory,

And some I had to leave behind,
                            (short mute)
My brother, I'm still sorry,

[Coda] 
 D#5                F5    G5                      F5
Soon I'll be sixty years old, my daddy got sixty-one,
                              A#5/D
Remember life, and then your life becomes a better one,
 D#5                   F5             G5         D5
I made a man so happy when I wrote a letter once,

I hope my children come and visit once or twice a month,
 D#5                F5    G5                             F5
Soon I'll be sixty years old, will I think the world is cold,
                         A#5/D
Or will I have a lot of children who can warm me?
 D#5                F5    G5    F5
Soon I'll be sixty years old, (sixty years old)
 D#5                F5    G5                             F5
Soon I'll be sixty years old, will I think the world is cold,
                         A#5/D
Or will I have a lot of children who can warm me?
 D#5              F5      G5    F5
Soon I'll be sixty years old, (sixty years old)
