Tom: E
E A E
I once had a mansion and lived in my glory,
B7
But now I'm down to my last dime,
E A E
I had a sweetheart, but I was unfaithful,
B7 E
Oh, I've lived a lot in my time.
[Chorus]
A E
I've fought the grim reaper, down in the dark valley,
B7
I've prayed when the sun wouldn't shine,
E A E
I've looked through the bars of a cold lonely prison,
B7 E
Oh, I've lived a lot in my time.
[Verse 2]
E A E
I've been a soldier, and I've been a rambler,
B7
Once thought that everything was fine,
E A E
I've hoed in the corn and I've picked in the cotton,
B7 E
Yes, I've lived a lot in my time.
[Chorus]
A E
I've walked with my master, down in the dark valley,
B7
And wonderful peace I did find,
E A E
Someday I'll journey to Eden's green pastures,
B7 E
Yes, I've lived a lot in my time.
