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