I Wish I Was Eighteen Again

At[D] a bar dow[G]n in Da[D]llas
An old man chimed [A]in
And they [D]thought he was o[A]ut of his h[D]ead
And all being young[G] men
They just laughed it o[D]ff
When they heard[G] what this old man [D]said

He said I'll never ag[G]ain
Turn th[D]e young l[A]adies' h[D]eads
Or go running of[A]f into the [D]wind

I'[D]m three qu[G]arters ho[D]me
[A]
And I w[D]ish I was e[G]ighteen ag[D]ain
Oh I wish I was[A] eighteen ag[D]ain
And going where I've never [A]been
Now[D] old folks[G] and old oa[D]ks
Standing tall, just pr[A]etend
I wis[D]h I was ei[A]ghteen aga[D]in

Time turn[G]s the pa[D]ges
And life goes so f[A]ast
The year[D]s turn the da[G]rk hair all g[D]rey
I talk to som[G]e young f[D]olks
But they don't under[A]stand
The wo[D]rds this old[A] man's got to sa[D]y
Oh I wish I was eighteen a[A]gain
And [D]going where I[A]'ve never b[D]een

Now old folks[G] and old o[D]aks
Standing tall, just p[A]retend
I wi[D]sh I was eig[A]htee-een a[D]gain
Oh I wish I was [A]eighteen ag[D]ain...
