G7   C             Am       Dm
At a bar down in Dallas, an old man chimed in
          G7                        C   G7
And they thought he was out of his head
     C         Am              Dm
And all being young men, they just laughed it off
          G7                       C    G7
When they heard what this old man said

[Verse 2]
          C           Am             Dm
He said, "I'll never again turn the young ladies heads
   G7                         C  G7
Or go running off in to the wind
     C              Am            Dm
I'm three quarters home from the start to the end
      G7                    C    G7
And I wish I was eighteen again"

[Chorus]

      C            Am      Dm
Oh I wish, I was eighteen again
     G7                     C     G7
And going where I've never been
     C                 Am            Dm
Now old folks and old oaks standing tall just pretend
  G7                     C     G7
I wish I was eighteen again

[Verse 3]

 C              Am        Dm
Time turns the pages and life goes so fast
     G7                            C    G7
The years turn the black hair all gray
   C            Am                   Dm
I talk to some young folks but they don't understand
     G7                        C   G7
The words this old man got to say


[Chorus]
      C            Am      Dm
Oh I wish, I was eighteen again
     G7                     C     G7
And going where I've never been
     C                 Am            Dm
Now old folks and old oaks standing tall just pretend
   G7                   C     G7
I wish I was eighteen again
      G7                  C     G7
Oh I wish I was eighteen again
