G                G7        C 
At a bar down in Dallas an old man chimed in 
D7                                 G 
And they thought he was out of his head 
              G7             C 
And all being young men they just laughed it off 
D7                                G    D7 
When they heard what this old man said 

   G               G7             C 
He said I'll never again turn the young ladies' heads  
   D7                      G 
Or go running off into the wind 
                   G7            C 
I'm three quarters home from the start to the end 
    D7                    G     D7 
And I wish I was eighteen again 
          
     G          G7        C 
Oh I wish I was eighteen again 
    D7                     G 
And going where I've never been 
                  G7                C 
Now old folks and old oaks standing tall just pretend 
  D7                  G     D7 
I wish I was eighteen again 

     G         G7        C 
Time turns the pages and life goes so fast 
D7                               G 
The years turn the dark hair all gray 
               G7              C 
I talk to some young folks but they don't understand 
    D7                          G   D7 
The words this old man's got to say 

Repeat #3 
   
     A7         D7       G 
Oh I wish I was eighteen again
