[Verse 1]
D
I've been lately thinking
      Gsus2
About my   life's time
D
 All the things I've done
               Gsus2
And how it's been   
    D
And I can't help believing
   Gsus2
In my   own mind
D                                 Gsus2
 I know I'm gonna hate to see it end   

[Verse 2]
     D
I've seen a lot of sunshine
Gsus2
Slept out in the rain
D                                Gsus2
 Spent a night or two all on my own   
     D
I've known my lady's pleasures
Gsus2
Had  myself some friends
D                                  Gsus2
 And spent a time or two in my own home 

[Pre-Chorus]
      Gsus2            A7
And I have to say it now 
              D               Gsus2
It's been a good life all in all   
              D
It's really fine
              Bm             Em
To have a chance to hang around
A7    Gsus2               A7
  And lie  there by the fire
    D                   Gsus2
And watch the evening tire   
                 D              Bm
While all my friends and my old lady
        Em
Sit and pass the pipe around

[Chorus]
A7               Gsus2                  F#m
  And talk of poems   and prayers and promises
    Em                  D
And things that we believe in
                   Dmaj7
How sweet it is to love someone
Gsus2                 A7
How  right it is to care
    Gsus2                  F#m
How long it's been since yesterday
Em                   D
  And what about tomorrow
                      Dmaj7
And what about our dreams  
            Em             A7
And all the memories we share

[Verse 3]
D    D
 The days they pass so quickly now
Gsus2
Nights are seldom long
D                                        Gsus2
 And time around me whispers when it's cold
    D
The changes somehow frighten me
Gsus2
Still I have to smile
D                                    Gsus2
 It turns me on to think of growing old   

[Verse 4]
    D
For though my life's been good to me
        Gsus2
There's still so much to do
D                                    Gsus2
 So many things my mind has never known   
    D
I'd like to raise a family
    Gsus2
I'd like to sail away
D                                        Gsus2
 And dance across the mountains on the moon

[Pre-Chorus]
  Gsus2            A7
I have to say it now 
              D               Gsus2
It's been a good life all in all   
              D
It's really fine
                Bm             Em
To have the chance to hang around
A7    Gsus2               A7
  And lie  there by the fire
    D                   Gsus2
And watch the evening tire   
                 D              Bm
While all my friends and my old lady
        Em
Sit and pass the pipe around

[Chorus]
A7               Gsus2                  F#m
  And talk of poems   and prayers and promises
    Em                  D
And things that we believe in
                     Dmaj7
How sweet it is to love   someone
  Gsus2                 A7
How    right it is to care
    Gsus2                  F#m
How long it's been since yesterday
Em               D
  What about tomorrow
                   Dmaj7
What about our dreams   
            Em            A7
And all the memories we share
