The chords are as follows: CHORUS (the last line starts on Bm and features a walk-down in the Bass note) A C#m E You might wander far B A# A Be a Big Time Nashville Star A C#m A Still it never hurts Bm A* G#* F#* E* Even when you do your worst *(Play the Bm, open on high E; then play with open A string, then fret 4 on 6th string (G#), then fret 2 on 6th string (F#), then end on E chord) Each chord in the last line should look like: BAGFE/Bm e|--0--------0----------0---------0------0-----------------------------------| B|--3--------3----------3---------3------0-----------------------------------| G|--4--------4----------4---------4------1-----------------------------------| D|--4--------4----------4---------4------2-----------------------------------| A|--2--------0----------0---------0------2-----------------------------------| E|--x--------x----------4---------2------0-----------------------------------| This walk-down will also appear in the verses. VERSE E F#m Well I'm a wheel that's always turning, oh F#m E Well I always start out where I end E F#m And me, I'm like a fire that's always burning Bm A G# F# But oh, how, time, flies Bm A G# F# (Same walk-down from chorus) Right by the wayside REPEAT (Choruses change lyrics as well)
