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