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
