The track "7 Years" appeared from nowhere in 2015 and thanks to the catchy melodies and emotive lyrics, caught the attention of the world and topped the charts globally.
The letter notes below were really fun to work out, if you can get rhythm right it sounds just like the actual tune - I nearly managed to play along at full speed :D I hope you enjoy playing it too :)
^G ^F ^F ^D-^F ^C Bb
Once I was seven years old
G ^D-^F ^C Bb
My momma told me
G ^C ^C-^C ^C ^C
Go make yourself some friends
^C ^C Bb ^D-^C-Bb
Or you'll be lonely ~
^G ^F ^F ^D-^F ^C Bb
Once I was seven years old
Bb Bb ^C ^D ^C Bb
It was a big big world
Bb Bb ^C ^D ^F ^C-Bb
But we thought we were bigger
Bb-Bb ^C ^D-^C Bb ^C ^D-^C
Pushing each other to the limits
Bb ^C ^D-^F ^C - Bb
We were learning quicker
Bb ^C-^D-^C Bb-^C ^D
By eleven smoking herb
^C Bb-^C ^D-^F ^C-Bb
And drinking burning liquor
Bb-^C ^D ^C Bb ^C ^D
Never rich so we were out
^C Bb ^C ^D-^F ^C-Bb
To make that steady figure
^G ^G ^F ^F-^D-^F ^C Bb
Once I was eleven years old

Go get yourself a wife

Or you'll be lonely ~

Once I was eleven years old

I always had that dream
Bb ^C ^D-^D ^F-^C Bb
Like my daddy before me
Bb ^C ^D-^C Bb-^C ^D
So I started writing songs
^C Bb-^C ^D-^F ^C-Bb
I started writing stories
Bb - Bb ^C-^D ^C ^C-Bb
Something about that glory
Bb Bb-^C ^D ^F ^C Bb
Just always seemed to bore me
Bb Bb-^C ^D ^C Bb-^C ^D
Cause only those I really love
^C Bb-^C ^D-^F ^C Bb
Will ever really know me
^G ^F ^F ^D-^F ^C Bb
Once I was 20 years old

My story got told

Before the morning sun
^C ^C Bb ^D-^C-Bb
When life was lonely ~
^G ^F ^F ^D-^F ^C Bb
Once I was 20 years old
Bb Bb-^C ^D ^C Bb
I only see my goals
Bb Bb ^C-^D ^F-^C Bb
I don't believe in failure
Bb ^C ^D ^C Bb-^C ^D-^C
Cause I know the smallest voices
Bb ^C ^D ^F ^C-Bb
They can make it major
Bb Bb ^C ^D-^C Bb ^C
I got my boys with me
Bb Bb ^D ^F ^C-Bb
At least those in favour
Bb Bb Bb ^C ^D ^C-Bb ^C ^D
And if we don't meet before I leave

I hope I'll see you later
