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

Pretty standard fingerpicking pattern, he usually walks up to every C/G with a little

[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
G             G/F    Em
I'd stay with Laura Wilson,
       C/G      D/F    G
In the hills of Arkansas
