[Verse 1]
C G/B Am C It was 1972, my mom and papa brought me through,
F C/E Dm C back then I was the favorite, so they say.
C G/B Am C Even though he was way before his time, I knew every Nesta Marley line,
F C/E Dm C you know that Peter Tosh was fly in diamond socks and corduroy.
C G/B Am C Fast forward to 1981, my dad moved on and so did I,
F C/E Dm C inside I kept his songs alive and so they say.
[Chorus 1]
C G/B Am CI'm an old soul, living in the body of a 9 year old,
F C/E Dm C I guess I've been here before.
C G/B Am CI'm an old soul, tribute to the ones who made it all
F C/E Dm Cpossible, inside me your legacy lives on.
[Verse 2]
C G/B Am C It's now 1991, this was the year after
F C/E Dm Cgraduation, Shabba Ranks was on the radio station, I played some songs for mama Rits.
C G/B Am C I had that girl from 'round the way, UB40 was on replay,
F C/E Dm C I can't forget that holiday, Marvin Gaye stole her heart away.
C G/B Am C And I had to learn the harder way, she'd always be a part of me,
F C/E Dm C it's not 'til I met that Mary Jane, old legends reincarnate.
[Chorus 2]
C G/B Am CI'm an old soul, living in the body of a 12 year old,
F C/E Dm C I guess I've been here before.
C G/B Am CI'm an old soul, tribute to the ones who made it all
F C/E Dm Cpossible, inside me your legacy lives on.
