D                               G(Add A)  D
I've been lately thinkin' about my life's time
                                      G
All the things I've done and how it's been
    D                        G(Add A) D
and I can't help believin' in my own   mind
                                G(Add A)
I know I'm gonna hate to see it end


I've seen alot of sunshine, slept out in the rain
spent a night or two all on my own
I've known my lady's pleasures, had myself some friends
spent a time or two in my own home

CHORAS:
  G              A7              D                G
I have to say it now it's been a good life all in all
            D              Bm             Em    A7
It's really fine to have a chance to hang around,
    G                A7       D                 G
and lie there by the fire and watch the evening tire,
             D                  Bm           Em            A7
while all my friends and my old lady sit and pass the pipe around
            G                     F#m          G              D 
and talk of poems and prayers and promises and things that we believe in
                   Dmaj7             G              A
how sweet it is to love someone, how right it is to care
    G                    F#m        Em         D
how long it's been since yesterday, what about tomorrow
               Dmaj7              G           A     D  G D
what about our dreams and all the memories we share

The days they pass so quickly now
the nights are soldom long
time around me wispers when it's cold
the changes somehow frighten me still I have to smile
it turns me on to think of growin' old

For though my life's been good to me
there's still so much to do
so many things my mind has never known
I'd like to raise a family I'd like to sail away
and dance across the mountains on the moon
