Tuning: Standard - Capo: His capo is on 4th fret but I believe he is playing
half-step down, as capo on 3rd

[Verse]
G
Well I dreamt that I saw Laura Wilson
C/G
In a vision like we were kids
G G/F Em
I tried to tell her I'm sorry
C/G D/F
For leaving the way that I did
G
I heard that she married a preacher
C/G
I saw her picture one time
G G/F Em
I knew I had nothing to offer
A7 D7 G
For this life is a highway life
[Chorus]
C/G G
I'm getting to old for fairytale stories
C/G G
Lovers that live on the run
C/G G
Heroes that ride like lightning
G G/F D/F
Hit songs that never get sung
C/G G
If the hands on the clock worked backwards
C/G G
I could right all the things I done wrong
G G/F Em
I'd stay with Laura Wilson,
C/G D/F G
In the hills of Arkansas
[Verse]
G
Well theres something that I might do different
C/G
Some stories that I wouldnt change
G G/F Em
Some people I wish I'd known better
C/G D/F
Some nights that I just couldn't dream
G
I'd spend more time in the sunshine
C/G
Picking more traveling songs
G G/F Em
Laughing out loud, singing for crowds
A7 D7 G
Instead of sitting here singing alone
[Chorus]
C/G G
I'm getting to old for fairytale stories
C/G G
Lovers that live on the run
C/G G
Heroes that ride like lightning
G G/F D
Hit songs that never get sung
C/G G
If the hands on th clock worked backwards
C/G G
I could right all the things I done wrong
G G/F Em
I'd stay with Laura Wilson,
C/G D/F G
In the hills of Arkansas
[Verse]
G
Well theres places that I've seen in my lifetime
C/G
Some places I've never been
G G/F Em
Some places I'd love to go back to
C/G D
Some places I couldnt care less
G
Well all of the cities I've traveled
C/G
And all good people I've known
G G/F
The lesson I've learned is
Em A7 D7 G
Memories burn all the feelings that lead me back home
[Chorus]
C/G G
I'm getting to old for fairytale stories
C/G G
Lovers that live on the run
C/G G
Heroes that ride like lightning
G G/F D
Hit songs that never get sung
C/G G
If the hands on the clock worked backwards
C/G G
I could right all the things I done wrong
