[Chorus]
D Em7 G D
Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair
D G Asus
In 77 and 69 revolution was in the air
D Em7 Bm G
I was born too late to a world that doesn’t care
D Em7 G D
Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair
[Verse]
D
When the head of state didn’t play guitar,
Em7
Not everybody drove a car,
A Em7* D
When music really mattered and radio was king,
D
When accountants didn’t have control
Em7
And the media couldn’t buy your soul
A Em7* D
And computers were still scary and we didn’t know everything
[Chorus]
D Em7 G D
Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair
D G Asus
In 77 and 69 revolution was in the air
D Em7 Bm G

D Em7 G D
Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair
[Verse]
D
When popstars still remained a myth
Em7
And ignorance could still be bliss
A Em7 D
And when God saved the Queen she turned a whiter shade of pale
D
When my mom and dad were in their teens
Em7
and anarchy was still a dream
A Em7 D
and the only way to stay in touch was a letter in the mail
[Chorus]
D Em7 G D
Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair
D G Asus
In 77 and 69 revolution was in the air
D Em7 Bm G

D Em7 G D
Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair
[Verse]
D
When record shops were on top
Em7
and vinyl was all that they stocked
A Em7 D
and the super-info highway was still drifting out in space
D
kids were wearing hand me downs,
Em7
and playing games meant kick arounds
A Em7 D
and footballers still had long hair and dirt across their face
[Chorus]
D Em7 G D
Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair
