CAPO: 4th Fret
[INTRO:] C G C G C
[VERSE 1:]
Young men's hope are dashed to [G]Hell, it's hard to earn a di[C]me
They're kicking their heels, revving their [G]wheels, searching for better times[Am]
Me, I'm kicking into my [G]prime
'Cause I was born at the right ti[C]me[G][C]
[VERSE 2:]
Old men's thoughts are in the [G]past, their future holds no sto[C]re
Their lives are left in tatters, [G]fighting someone else's wa[Am]r
I wasn't party to that [G]crime
'Cause I was born at the right ti[C]me
[CHORUS:]
Now I'm living on the coastli[G]ne
I got up from the breadl[C]ine
Now I'm drinking the good wi[F]ne
Go fishing in the summerti[C]me
Sleep all day if I have a mi[G]nd
'Cause I was born at the right ti[C]me[G]
Yes, I was born at the right ti[C]me
[INSTRUMENTAL:] C Am G C Am G C Am G F F C F C G C
[VERSE 3:]
I want no part of being [G]young, don't want the wisdom of a sage[C]
While there are songs still to be [G]sung, new words to grace the pa[Am]ge
A better age I'll never [G]find
'Cause I was born at the right ti[C]me
[CHORUS:]
And now I'm living on the coastli[G]ne
I got up from the breadl[C]ine
Now I'm drinking the good wi[F]ne
Go fishing in the summerti[C]me
Sleep all day if I have a mi[G]nd
'Cause I was born at the right ti[C]me[G][Am]
[BRIDGE:]
And so while wishing that we'll [F]all see better days[Am]
My secret feeling is, I'm [F]happy in my wa[G]ys[Am]
An inner [G]smile comes on me, [F]thinking of the past
But [C]I won't sigh for days gone by
[Am]Now is where I'm [G]at_[C]__
