7 Years Jasmine Thompson
[Intro]
[G]Once I was seven years [Bmin]old
My mama told m[Emin]e
"Go make yourself some [Bmin7]friends or you'll be lonely"
[G]Once I was seven years[Bmin] old
[Verse 1]
[G]It was a[Bmin7] big big worl[Bmin]d
But we thought [Emin]we were bigger
Pushing each other to the l[Bmin7]imits
We were learning quicker
[G]By eleven[Bmin7] smoking herb and drinking bur[Bmin]ning liquor
[Emin]Never rich so we were out to make[Bmin7] that steady figure
[Cborus 2]
[G]Once I was eleven[Bmin7] years old[Bmin]
My daddy told [Emin]me
"Go get yourself a[Bmin7] wife or you'll be lonely"
[G]Once I was eleven[Bmin7] years old[Bmin]
[Verse 2]
[G]I always had[Bmin7] that dre[Bmin]am
Like my daddy before [Emin]me
So I started writing [Bmin7]songs
[Bmin7]I started writing stories
[G]Something[Bmin7] about that glo[Bmin]ry
Just always seemed to [Emin]bore me
'Cause only those I really [Bmin7]love will ever really know me
[Cborus 3]
[G]Once I was twenty[Bmin7] years old[Bmin]
My story got [Emin]told
Before the morning [Bmin7]sun, when life was lonely
[G]Once I was twenty[Bmin7] years old[Bmin]
[Verse 3]
[G]I only seek my[Bmin7] goals
I don't be[Bmin]lieve in failure
'[Emin]Cause I know the smallest voic[Bmin7]es, they can make it major
[G]I got my boys with[Bmin7] me
[Bmin]At least those in favour
[Emin]And if we don´t meet before I le[Bmin7]ave, I hope i'll see you later.
[Cborus 4]
[G]Once I was twenty[Bmin7] years old[Bmin]
My story got [Emin]told
I was writing about ever[Bmin7]ything I saw before me
[G]Once I was twenty[Bmin7] years old[Bmin]
[Cborus 5]
[G]Soon we´ll be thirt[Bmin7]y years ol[Bmin]d
Our songs have been [Emin]sold
We´ve traveled around the[Bmin7] world and we´re still roaming
[G]Soon we´ll be thirt[Bmin7]y years ol[Bmin]d
[Verse 4]
[G]I´m stil[Bmin7]l learning about life
My [Bmin]woman brought children for me
[Emin]So I can sing them all my songs
And I can [Bmin7]tell them stories
[G]Most of my[Bmin7] boys are with me[Bmin]
Some are still out seeking [Emin]glory
And some I had to leave behind
My brother [Bmin7]I´m still sorry
[Cborus 6]
[G]Soon I´ll be sixt[Bmin7]y years ol[Bmin]d
My daddy got sixty-[Emin]one
Remember life and then your [Bmin7]life becomes a better one
[G]I made a[Bmin7] man so happy [Bmin]when I wrote a letter once
[Emin]I hope my children come and visi[Bmin7]t once or twice a month
[Bridge]
[G]Soon I´ll be sixt[Bmin7]y years old
[Bmin]Will I think the world is cold
[Emin]Or will I have a lot of children who can warm me?[Bmin7]
[G]Soon I´ll be sixt[Bmin7]y years old
[Bmin]Will I think the world is cold
[Emin]Or will I have a lot of children who can warm me?[Bmin7]
[Cborus 1]
[G]Once I was seven years [Bmin]old
My mama told m[Emin]e
"Go make yourself some [Bmin7]friends or you'll be lonely"
[G]Once I was seven years[Bmin] old
[Outro]
[G]Once I was seven[Bmin7] years old[Emin]
