7 Years - Lukas Graham Notes

Chorus 1:
G2 F2 F2 D2F2 C2 A# G D2F2 C2 A# G
Once I was seven years old, my mama told me, “Go
D2 C2 C2 A# C2 C2 C2 A# D2C2
make yourself some friends or you'll be lonely."
G2 F2 F2 D2F2 C2 A#
Once I was seven years old

Verse 1:
A#A#C2D2 C2 A# A# A# C2 D2 F2 C2A#
It was a big big world, but we thought we were bigger
A# A# C2 D2C2 A#C2D2C2 A# C2 D2 F2 C2 A#
Pushing each other to the limits, we were learning
quicker
A# C2D2C2 A# C2 D2 C2 A# C2 D2 F2 C2 A#
By eleven smoking herb and drinking burning liquor
A# C2 D2 C2 A# C2 D2 C2 A# C2 D2F2 C2A#
Never rich so we were out to make that steady figure

Chorus 2:
G2 F2 F2 F2D2D2 C2 A# G D2F2 C2 A# G
Once I was eleven years old, my daddy told me, “Go
D2 C2 C2 A# C2 C2 C2 A# D2C2
get yourself a wife or you'll be lonely."
G2 F2 F2 F2D2F2 C2 A#
Once I was eleven years old

Verse 2:
A#A#C2 D2 C2 A# A# A# C2D2 F2C2 A#
I always had that dream, like my daddy before me
A#C2 D2C2 A#C2 D2 C2 A#C2 D2F2 C2 A#
So I started writing songs, I started writing stories
A# A# C2D2 C2 C2A# A# A#C2 D2 F2 C2 A#
Something about that glory just always seemed to bore
me
A# A#C2 D2 C2A#C2 D2 C2 A#C2 D2F2 C2 A#
'Cause only those I really love will ever really know me

Chorus 3:
G2 F2 F2 D2F2 C2 A# G D2F2 C2 A#
Once I was twenty years old, my story got told
G D2 C2 C2 A# C2 C2 C2 A# D2C2
Before the morning sun, when life was lonely
G2 F2 F2 D2F2 C2 A#
Once I was twenty years old
(Lukas Graham!)

Verse 3:
A#A#C2 D2 C2 A# A# A# C2D2 F2 C2 A#
I only see my goals, I don't believe in failure
A# C2 D2 C2 A#C2 D2C2 A# C2 D2 F2 C2A#
'Cause I know the smallest voices, they can make it
major
A#A#C2 D2 A# C2 A# A# D2 F2 C2A#
I got my boys with me, at least those in favor
A# A# A# C2 D2 C2A#C2 D2 C2 A# C2 D2 F2 C2A#
And if we don't meet before I leave, I hope I'll see you
later

Chorus 4:
G2 F2 F2 D2F2 C2 A# G
Once I was twenty years old, my
D2F2 C2 A# G G
story got told I was
D2 C2 C2 A# C2 C2 C2 A#D2 C2
writing ‘bout everything I saw before me
G2 G2 A2 A2#A2 G2 F2
Once I was twenty years old
(G G A A# A G F)

G2 F2 F2 D2F2 C2 A# G
Soon we'll be thirty years old, our
D2 F2 C2 A# G
songs have been sold, we’ve
D2 D2 C2 C2 C2 C2 C2 C2 A# D2 C2
traveled around the world and we're still roaming
G2 F2 F2 D2F2 C2 A#
Soon we'll be thirty years old

Verse 4:
A# C2 D2C2 C2C2 A#
I'm still learning about life
A# A# A# C2 D2 F2 C2 A#
My woman brought children for me
A# A# C2 D2 C2 A#C2 D2
So I can sing them all my songs
C2 A#C2 D2 F2 C2 A#
And I can tell them stories
A# A# C2 D2 C2 A# C2
Most of my boys are with me
A# A# A# C2 D2 F2 C2A#
Some are still out seeking glory
A# A#C2 D2 C2 A# C2D2
And some I had to leave behind
C2 A# C2 D2 F2 C2A#
My brother, I'm still sorry

Soon I'll be sixty years old, my daddy got sixty-one
C2 C2 C2 C2 C2 C2 D2 C2 C2 C2 C2 D2C2 A#
Remember life, and then your life becomes a better one
A#A# C2 D2 C2 A#A# A# A# A# C2 D2C2 A#
I made a man so happy when I wrote a letter once
F2 F2 F2 F2 F2 F2 D2 D2 D2 D2 C2 A# A#
I hope my children come and visit once or twice a month

Chorus 5:

think the world is cold or will I
