(verse 1) 
D                             G/A  -  D 
I've been laid to thinking about my lifetime, 
         G/A 
All the things I've done and how it's been, 
    D                       G/A   D 
And I can't help believin' in my own mind, 
           G/A 
I know I'm gonna hate to see it end, 
 
(verse 2) 
D                          G/A         D 
I've seen alot of sunshine, slept out in the rain. 
        G/A 
Spent a night or two all on my own, 
D                             G/A           D 
I've known my lady's pleasures, had myself some friends, 
        G/A 
Spent a time or two in my own home, 


G              A7             D               G 
And I have to say it now, it's been a good life all in all, 
             D              Bm              Em 
It's really fine to have a chance to hang around, 
A7     G                A7          D             G 
And lie there by the fire, and watch the evenin' tire, 
                D                  Bm           Em7        A7 
while all my friends and my old lady, sit and pass the pipe around, 
             G                     Fm      G            D 
And talk of poems and prayers and promises, and things that we believe in, 
           D7M            G              A          G 
How sweet it is to love someone, how right it is to care, 
               F7M                 Em           D 
How long it's been since yesterday, what about tomorrow, 
                    D7M                G           A   D - G - D 
And what about our dreams, and all the memories we share,  
 
(verse 3) 
D                                   G/A         D 
The days, they pass so quickly now, nights are seldom long, 
      G/A 
Time around me whispers when it's cold, 
          D                           G/A      D 
Changes some how frighten me, still I have to smile, 
    G/A 
It turns me on to think of growing old, 
 
(verse 4) 
D                                          G/A        D 
For tho' my life's been good to me, there's still so much to do, 
     G/A 
So many things my mind has never known, 
          D                           G/A      D 
I'd like to raise a family, I'd like to sail away, 
     G/A 
And dance across the mountains on the moon, 
 
(chorus) 
G              A7             D               G 
And I have to say it now, it's been a good life all in all, 
             D              Bm              Em 
It's really fine to have a chance to hang around, 
A7     G                A7          D             G 
And lie there by the fire, and watch the evenin' tire, 
                D                  Bm           Em7        A7 
while all my friends and my old lady, sit and pass the pipe around, 
             G                     Fm      G            D 
And talk of poems and prayers and promises, and things that we believe in, 
           D7M            G              A          G 
How sweet it is to love someone, how right it is to care, 
               F7M                 Em           D 
How long it's been since yesterday, what about tomorrow, 
                    D7M                G           A   D - G - D
