Chords with lyrics
Verse 1:
G7G7 C majorC A minorAm DmDm
At a bar down in Dallas, an old man chimed in
G7G7 C majorC G7G7
And they thought he was out of his head
C majorC A minorAm DmDm
And all being young men, they just laughed it off
G7G7 C majorC G7G7
When they heard what this old man said
Verse 2:
C majorC A minorAm DmDm
He said, "I'll never again turn the young ladies heads
G7G7 C majorC G7G7
Or go running off in to the wind
C majorC A minorAm DmDm
I'm three quarters home from the start to the end
G7G7 C majorC G7G7
And I wish I was eighteen again"
Chorus:
C majorC A minorAm E minorEm
Oh I wish, I was eighteen again
G7G7 C majorC G7G7
And going where I've never been
C majorC A minorAm DmDm
Now old folks and old oaks standing tall just pretend
G7G7 C majorC G7G7
I wish I was eighteen again
Verse 3:
C majorC A minorAm DmDm
Time turns the pages and life goes so fast
G7G7 C majorC G7G7
The years turn the black hair all gray
C majorC A minorAm DmDm
I talk to some young folks but they don't understand
G7G7 C majorC G7G7
The words this old man got to say
Chorus:
C majorC A minorAm E minorEm
Oh I wish, I was eighteen again
G7G7 C majorC G7G7
And going where I've never been
C majorC A minorAm DmDm
Now old folks and old oaks standing tall just pretend
G7G7 C majorC G7G7
I wish I was eighteen again
G7G7 C majorC G7G7
Oh I wish I was eighteen again
