Start Jamming...
[E] I've lived a [B] lot in my [E] time.
I've lived a [B] lot in [E] my time.
I once had a mansion [A] and lived in [E] my glory.
But now I'm down to my [B] last dime.
[E] I had a sweetheart,
[A] but I [E] was unfaithful.
[Em]
[E] Oh, I've lived a [B] lot in [E] my time.
[A] I fought the grim [F#m] reaper [E] down in the dark valley.
I prayed when the sun [B] wouldn't shine.
[E] I've looked through the bars of [A] a cold, [E] lonely prison.
Oh, I've lived a [B] lot in [E] my time.
[B]
[E]
I've been a soldier [A] and I've been [E] a rambler.
Once thought that everything [B] was fine.
[E] I've hoed in the cornfields, [A] I've picked in [E] the cotton.
Yes, I've lived a [B] lot in my [E] time.
[A] I've walked with our master [E] down in the dark valley.
And wonderful peace I [B] did find.
[E] Someday I'll journey [A] to Eden's [E] green pastures.
Yes, I've lived a lot [B]
in [E] my time.
