Capo 3rd fret

Intro

Verse 1

I think I'll take a moment

to celebrate my age

 the ending of era

 and the turning of a page

now its time to focus in on

where I go from here

ÊÊ

Lord have mercy on my next thirty years

Verse 2

 Hey my next thirty years

 I'm gonna have some fun

Try to forget about all the crazy things I've done

maybe now I conquered all my adolence fears

 and I'll do it better in my next thirty years

Chorus 1

 My next thirty years I'm gonna settle all the scores

cry a little less, laugh a little more

find a world of happiness without the hate and fear

figure out just what I'm doing here

 In my next thirty years

Guitar/organ solo (use chords to chorus except D/F# remains Em)

Verse 3

 Oh my next thirty years

 I'm gonna watch my weight

eat a few more salads

 and not stay up so late

 drink a little lemonade and not so many beers

 (chuckle) maybe I'll remember my next thirty years

Chorus 2

 My next thirty years will be the best years of my life

 raise a little family and hang out with my wife

spend precious moments with the ones that I hold dear

make up for lost time here

 in my next thirty years
