Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][C]
[C][C][F][C]

[Verse 1]
[C]I've been lately thinking
About [F]my life's [C]time
All the things I've done
And how it's [F]been
And [C]I can't help believing
In [F]my own [C]mind
I know I'm gonna hate to see it [F]end

[Verse 2]
I've [C]seen a lot of sunshine
[F]Slept out in the [C]rain
Spent a night or two all on my [F]own
I've [C]known my lady's pleasures
[F]Had myself some [C]friends
And spent a time or two in my own [F]home

[Pre-chorus 1]
And I [F]have to say it [G]now
It's been a [C]good life all in [F]all
It's really [C]fine
To have a [Am]chance to hang a[Dm]round[G]
And [F]lie there by the [G]fire
And [C]watch the evening [F]tire
While all my [C]friends and my old [Am]lady
Sit and [Dm]pass the pipe a[G]round

[Chorus 1]
And talk of [F]poems and prayers and [Em]promises
And [Dm]things that we be[C]lieve in
How sweet it is to [C]love someone
[F]How right it is to [G]care
How [F]long it's been since [Em]yes terday
[Dm]And what about tomorro[C]w
And what about our [C]dreams
And all the [Dm]memories we [G]share

[Interlude 1]
[C][C]
[C][C][F][C]

[Verse 3]
The [C]days they pass so quickly now
[F]Nights are seldom [C]long
And time around me
whispers when it's [F]cold
The [C]changes somehow frighten me
[F]Still I have to [C]smile
It turns me on to think of growing [F]old

[Verse 4]
For [C]though my life's been good to me
There's [F]still so much to [C]do
So many things my mind has never [F]known
I'd [C]like to raise a family
I'd [F]like to sail [C]away
And dance across the mountains
on the [F]moon

[Pre-chorus 2]
I [F]have to say it [G]now
It's been a [C]good life all in [F]all
It's really [C]fine
To have a [Am]chance to hang a[Dm]round[G]
And [F]lie there by the [G]fire
And [C]watch the evening [F]tire
While all my [C]friends and my old [Am]lady
Sit and [Dm]pass the pipe a[G]round

[Chorus 2]
And talk of [F]poems and prayers and [Em]promises
And [Dm]things that we be[C]lieve in
How sweet it is to [C]love someone
[F]How right it is to [G]care
How [F]long it's been since [Em]yes terday
[Dm]And what about tomorro[C]w
And what about our [C]dreams
And all the [Dm]memories we [G]share

[Outro 1]
