^D I've been laid to thinking about my l ^G/A ifeti ^- me, ^D
All the t ^G/A hings I've done and how it's been,
And ^D I can't help believin' in ^G/A my ow ^D n mind,
I know I'm ^G/A gonna hate to see it end,
(verse 2)
^D I've seen alot of sunshine, slept ^G/A out in the r ^D ain.
Spent a ^G/A night or two all on my own,
^D I've known my lady's pleasures, had m ^G/A yself some fri ^D ends,
Spent a ^G/A time or two in my own home,
(chorus)
^G And I have to s ^A7 ay it now, it's ^D been a good lif ^G e all in all,
It's really f ^D ine to have a c ^Bm hance to hang ar ^Em ound,
^A7 And lie ^G there by the fir ^A7 e, and watch ^D the evenin' t ^G ire,
while all my fri ^D ends and my old lady, ^Bm sit and pass ^Em7 the pipe ar ^A7 ound,
And talk of p ^G oems and prayers and p ^Fm romises, ^G and things t ^D hat we believe in,
How sweet i ^Dmaj7 t is to love some ^G one, how right ^A it is to ^G care,
How long it's b ^Fmaj7 een since yesterday, w ^Em hat about tom ^D orrow,
And what about our d ^Dmaj7 reams, and all the me ^G mories we sh ^A are, ^{D - G - D}
(verse 3)
^D The days, they pass so quickly now, nights ^G/A are seldom l ^D ong,
Time a ^G/A round me whispers when it's cold,
Changes so ^D me how frighten me, still I ^G/A have to s ^D mile,
It t ^G/A urns me on to think of growing old,
(verse 4)
^D For tho' my life's been good to me, there's still ^G/A so much to ^D do,
So ma ^G/A ny things my mind has never known,
I'd like t ^D o raise a family, I'd like t ^G/A o sail aw ^D ay,
And d ^G/A ance across the mountains on the moon,
(chorus)
^G And I have to s ^A7 ay it now, it's ^D been a good lif ^G e all in all,
It's really f ^D ine to have a c ^Bm hance to hang ar ^Em ound,
^A7 And lie ^G there by the fir ^A7 e, and watch ^D the evenin' t ^G ire,
while all my fri ^D ends and my old lady, ^Bm sit and pass ^Em7 the pipe ar ^A7 ound,
And talk of p ^G oems and prayers and p ^Fm romises, ^G and things t ^D hat we believe in,
How sweet i ^Dmaj7 t is to love some ^G one, how right ^A it is to ^G care,
How long it's b ^Fmaj7 een since yesterday, w ^Em hat about tom ^D orrow,
And what about our d ^Dmaj7 reams, and all the me ^G mories we sh ^A are, ^{D - G - D}
