Poems, Prayers And Promises

	  		(verse 1)   
D				 G/A  -  D   
I've been lately 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    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 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,   
                   Dmaj7          G                  A	    
How sweet it is to love someone, how right it is to care,   
     G                    Fmaj7       Em           D   
How long it's been since yesterday, what about tomorrow,   
                    Dmaj7                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    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 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,   
                  Dmaj7           G                  A	       
How sweet it is to love someone, how right it is to care,   
      G                  Fmaj7       Em           D   
How long it's been since yesterday, what about tomorrow,   
                    Dmaj7                G           A   D - G - D   
And what about our dreams, and all the memories we share,
