Banjo Tuned E, Capo 1, Key D

I Wish I Was Eighteen Again

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

G
He said I'll never again
D A D
Turn the young ladies' heads
A D
Or go running off into the wind

D G D
I'm three quarters home
A
From the start to the end
D G D
And I wish I was eighteen again
A D
Oh I wish I was eighteen again
A
And going where I've never been
D G D
Now old folks and old oaks
A
Standing tall, just pretend
D A D
I wish I was eighteen again

G D
Time turns the pages
A
And life goes so fast
D G D
The years turn the dark hair all grey
G D
I talk to some young folks
A
But they don't understand
D A D
The words this old man's got to say
A
Oh I wish I was eighteen again
D A D
And going where I've never been

G D
Now old folks and old oaks
A
Standing tall, just pretend
D A D
I wish I was eightee-een again
A D
Oh I wish I was eighteen again...
