[Intro]
E B E B E
[Verse]
B E
Young men's hope are dashed to Hell, it's hard to earn a dime
B
They're kicking their heels and revving their wheels
Dbm
Searching for a better time
B
Me, I'm kicking into my prime
E B E
'Cause I was born at the right time
[Verse]
B E
Old men's thoughts are in the past, their future holds no store
B Dbm
Their lives are left in tatters, fighting someone else's war
B
I wasn't party to that crime
E
'Cause I was born at the right time
[Chorus]
B
Now I'm living on the coastline
E
I got up from the breadline
A
Now I'm drinking the good wine
E
I go fishing in the summertime
B
Sleep all day if I have a mind
E B E
'Cause I was born at the right time
E
Yes, I was born at the right time
[Verse]
B E
I want no part of being young, don't want the wisdom of a sage
B Dbm
While there are songs still to be sung, new words to grace the page
B
A better age I'll never find
E
'Cause I was born at the right time
[Chorus]
B
And now I'm living on the coastline
E
I got up from the breadline
A
Now I'm drinking the good wine
E
I go fishing in the summertime
B
Sleep all day if I have a mind
E B Dbm
'Cause I was born at the right time
[Bridge]
A Dbm
And so while wishing that we'll all see better days
Abm B Dbm
My secret feeling is, I'm happy in my ways
A
An inner smile comes on me, thinking of the past
Gbm Abm
But I won't sigh for days gone by
A B E
Now is where I'm at...
[Chorus]
B
And now I'm living on the coastline
E
I got up from the breadline
A
Now I'm drinking the good wine
E
I go fishing in the summertime
B
Sleep all day if I have a mind
E B
'Cause I was born at the right time (I was born)
E B
I was born at the right time (born)
E B
'Cause I was born at the right time (born)
E B
At the right time (I was born)
E B
'Cause I was born at the right time (I was born)
