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