Each of these is played very quickly and timing can be determined pretty easily from 
listening to the recording.

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:

    Bm      A/Bm      G#/Bm     F#/Bm    E
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)
