Never Was At All

D G D A

[Verse 1]
D                               G
They say I'm getting older and my
                 D
 hair is turnin' grey
They say I should be slowing down, 
            A
give it all away
D                        G       
Living like a gypsy doesn't 
        D
bother me at all
        G            D            
And I'd sooner be a 'has been' 
    A             D
than a 'never was at all'


[Verse 2]
  D                                
Now, I could've been a shearer and 
 G                D
I could've been a vet
Could've been a lot of things, of 
              A
this much you can bet
 D                               G
A man can sit there hangin' like a
                D
 picture on the wall
        G            D            
But I'd sooner be a 'has been' 
   A              D
than a 'never was at all'


[Chorus]

      G                            
Oh, Id sooner be 'has been' than a 
 D
'never was at all'
All my life I had a go, really had a
A
 ball
  G                  D            
If you don't climb the ladder, 
                  G
mate, then you can never fall
                   D               
And I'd sooner be a 'has been' than
  A              D
 a 'never was at all'

[Verse 3]
    D                              
When I look at that old suitcase 
 G                  D
and I think of how it was
The bad times and the good times, 
                       A
hey, and we did it just because
  D                        G      
I know I had to try it and today 
          D
I'm standing tall
          G            D       
Cause I'd sooner be a 'has been' 
       A               D
than a 'never was at all'


[Verse 4]
   D                               
Now, you won't reach the finish 
   G                 D
line if you don't ever start
You'll never live and you'll never 
                      A
love if you don't have a heart
   D                            
So don't just sit there whinging 
       G                D
mate, it's no damn good at all
         G           D            
And I'd sooner be a 'has been' 
   A              D
than a 'never was at all'


[Chorus]
      G                            
Oh, Id sooner be 'has been' than a 
 D
'never was at all'
Give it everything I'd got, really 
    A
had a ball
  G                  D            
If you don't climb the ladder, 
                  G
mate, then you can never fall
                     D             
And I'd sooner be a 'has been' than
  A              D
 a 'never was at all'
        G          D              
And I'd sooner be a 'has been' 
  A               D
than a 'never was at all'
   G            A         D
Oh laydee oh, laydee Oh, laydee
