7 YEARS - Lukas Graham

1) The song describes different stages of life from childhood to old age through the eyes of the singer. 2) As a child, he is told by his mother to make friends so he isn't lonely, and as a pre-teen he smokes and drinks. 3) As a young adult, he writes songs and stories and finds success by age 20 when his story is told. 4) The song reflects on aging from his 20s until anticipating being 60 years old, hoping his children will visit and that he will find fulfillment through them or more work rather than feeling the world is cold.

7 YEARS – Lukas Graham

La- Do Fa (x2)
(Intro)

La-                           Do                            Fa 
Once I was seven years old, my mamma told me
                                                               Sol
Go make yourself some friends or you'll be lonely.
La-                            Do   Fa 
Once I was seven years old.
La-                   Do                                             Fa 
It was a big big world, but we thought we were bigger.
                                                             Sol                    La-
Pushing each other to the limits, we were learning quicker.
                            Do                                     Fa 
By eleven smoking herb and drinking burning liquor
                                                               Sol
Never rich so we were out to make that steady figure
La-                              Do                            Fa 
Once I was eleven years old, my daddy told me
                                                        Sol
Go get yourself a wife or you'll be lonely.
La-                              Do   Fa 
Once I was eleven years old.
La-                      Do                                     Fa 
I always had that dream like my daddy before me
                                                    Sol
So I started writing songs, I started writing stories
La-                               Do                                           Fa 
Something about the glory, just always seemed to bore me
                                                             Sol
Cause only those I really love will ever really know me
La-                               Do                         Fa 
Once I was twenty years old, my story got told
                                                              Sol
Before the morning sun, when life was lonely.
La-                                Do   Fa 
Once I was twenty years old.
La-               Do                                     Fa 
I only see my goals, I don't believe in Solilure.
                                                                 Sol
Cause I know the smallest voices, they can make it major.
La-                      Do                            Fa 
I got my boys with me atleast those in Solvor
                                                                   Sol
And if we don't lead before I leave, I hope i'll see you later.
La-                       Do                        Fa 
Once I was 20 years old, my story got told
                                                           Sol
I was writing about everything, I saw before me
La-                         Do   Fa 
Once I was 20 years old.
La-                           Do                                   Fa 
Soon we'll be 30 years old, our songs have been sold
                                                                         Sol
We've traveled around the world and we're still roaming.
La-                            Do   Fa 
Soon we'll be 30 years old.
La-                            Do   
I'm still learning about life
                                                 Fa 
My woman brought children for me
So I can sing them all my songs
               Sol
And I can tell them stories
La-
Most of my boys are with me
Do
Some are still out seeking glory
Fa 
And some I had to leave behind
                 Do
My brother I'm still sorry
Fa                         La-                         Sol
Soon I'll be 60 years old, my daddy got 61
                                           Do
Remember life and then your life becomes a better one
Fa                                Sol                    Do
I made the man so happy when I wrote a letter once
Re-                                       Re
I hope my children come and visit, once or twice a month
Fa                         La-                                    Sol
Soon I'll be 60 years old, will I think the world is cold
                                  Re-
Or will I have a lot of children who can bore me
Fa                        La-   Fa 
Soon I'll be 60 years old
La-                         Do                                  Fa 
Soon I'll be 60 years old, will I think the world is cold
                                                             Sol
Or will I have a lot of children who can bore me
La-                         Do   Fa
Soon I'll be 60 years old
La-                           Do                           Fa 
Once I was seven years old, my mama told me
                                                                  Sol
Go make yourself some friends or you'll be lonely
La-                     Do  Fa
Once I was seven years old
La-                    Sol    Do
Once I was seven years old
