E   A   E   B   A

 E                              A          E
I've been lately thinking about my life's time
 E                                     A     B
All the things I've done and how it's been
    E                         A       E
And I can't help believing in my own mind
    E                            A    B
I know I'm gonna hate to see it end
       E                       A               E
I've seen a lot of sunshine, slept out in the rain
  E                             A    B
Spent a night or two all on my own
       E                         A                E
I've known my lady's pleasures, had myself some friends
      E                             A     B
And spent a night or two in my own home.

       A              B                E                 A
And I have to say it now, it's been a good life, all in all
             E               A              F#m     B
It's really fine to have a chance to hang around
     A                 B        E                A
And lie there by the fire and watch the evening tire
                E                A           F#m             B
While all my friends and my old lady sit and pass the pipe around.

              A                     B
And talk of poems and prayers and promises
     F#m              E
and things that we believe in
      E              A           F#m                 B
How sweet it is to love someone, how right it is to care
     A                      B             F#m        E
How long it's been since yesterday and what about tomorrow?
     E               A                  F#m         B
And what about our dreams and all the memories we share?

     E                               A                E
The days they pass so quickly now, nights are seldom long
 E                                 A     B
Time around me whispers when it's cold
      E                            A               E
The changes somehow frighten me, still I have to smile
     E                              A     B
It turns me on to think of growing old
      E                                         A               E
For though my life's been good to me, there's still so much to do
    E                              A      B
So many things my mind has never known
     E                           A            E
I'd like to raise a family, I'd like to sail away
     E                                 A      B
And dance across the mountains on the moon.

       A              B                E                 A
And I have to say it now, it's been a good life, all in all
             E               A              F#m     B
It's really fine to have a chance to hang around
     A                 B        E                A
And lie there by the fire and watch the evening tire
                E                A           F#m             B
While all my friends and my old lady sit and pass the pipe around.

              A                     B
And talk of poems and prayers and promises
     F#m              E
and things that we believe in
      E              A           F#m                 B
How sweet it is to love someone, how right it is to care
     A                      B             F#m        E
How long it's been since yesterday and what about tomorrow?
     E               A                  F#m         B
And what about our dreams and all the memories we share?
