a dimly [B] lit tavern [Em] an old man chimed in, [A] and I thought he was out of [D] his head.
Me being [B] a young man [Em] I just laughed it off [A] when I heard what that old man [D] had said.
He [Bm] said I'd never [B]
again [Em] turn the young lady's head [A] or go running off into [D] the rain.
I'm three quarters [B] whole [Em] from the start to the end [A] and I wish I were a city [D] again.
I wish I [B] was eighty [Em] again and [A] gone where I'd [D] never been.
But old folk [B] and old oak, [Em] spandent all just pretend, [A] oh I wish I was eighty [D] again.
