[Intro]
D G D* G* D*
[Verse]
D G D
I've been lately thinking about my life's time
D G
All the things I've done and how it's been
D G D
And I can't help believing in my own mind
D G
I know I'm gonna hate to see it end
D G D
I've seen a lot of sunshine, slept out in the rain
D G
Spent a night or two all on my own
D G D
I've known my lady's pleasures, had myself some friends
D G
And spent a time or two in my own home
[Chorus]
G A7 D G
And I have to say it now it's been a good life all in all
D Bm Em A
It's really fine to have a chance to hang around
G A7 D G
And lie there by the fire and watch the evening tire
D Bm Em A Asus4 A
While all my friends and my old lady sit and pass the pipe around
G F#m G D
And talk of poems and prayers and promises and things that we believe in
D Dmaj7 G A
How sweet it is to love someone, how right it is to care
G F#m Em D
How long it's been since yesterday and what about tomorrow
D Dmaj7 G A Asus4 A*
And what about our dreams and all the memories we share
[Break]
D G D* G* D*
[Verse]
D G D
The days they pass so quickly now, nights are seldom long
D G
And time around me whispers when it's cold
D G D
The changes somehow frighten me, still I have to smile
D G
It turns me on to think of growing old
D G D
For though my life's been good to me there's still so much to do
D G
So many things my mind has never known
D G D
I'd like to raise a family, I'd like to sail away
D G
And dance across the mountains on the moon
[Chorus]
G A7 D G
And I have to say it now it's been a good life all in all
D Bm Em A
It's really fine to have a chance to hang around
G A7 D G
And lie there by the fire and watch the evening tire
D Bm Em A Asus4 A
While all my friends and my old lady sit and pass the pipe around
G F#m G D
And talk of poems and prayers and promises and things that we believe in
D Dmaj7 G A
How sweet it is to love someone, how right it is to care
G F#m Em D
How long it's been since yesterday and what about tomorrow
D Dmaj7 G A Asus4 A*
And what about our dreams and all the memories we share
[Outro]
