[INTRO:] C G C G C [VERSE 1:]
                               G                           C
Young men's hope are dashed to Hell, it's hard to earn a dime

                                           G                                 Am
They're kicking their heels, revving their wheels, searching for better times

                        G
Me, I'm kicking into my prime

                                 C    G   C
'Cause I was born at the right time
[VERSE 2:]
                              G                              C
Old men's thoughts are in the past, their future holds no store

                                 G                         Am
Their lives are left in tatters, fighting someone else's war

                       G
I wasn't party to that crime

                                 C
'Cause I was born at the right time
[CHORUS:]
                             G
Now I'm living on the coastline

                        C
I got up from the breadline

                            F
Now I'm drinking the good wine

                          C
Go fishing in the summertime

                            G
Sleep all day if I have a mind

                                 C    G
'Cause I was born at the right time

                               C
Yes, I was born at the right time
[INSTRUMENTAL:] C Am G C Am G C Am G F F C F C G C [VERSE 3:]
                        G                                     C
I want no part of being young, don't want the wisdom of a sage

                                  G                              Am
While there are songs still to be sung, new words to grace the page

                        G
A better age I'll never find

                                 C
'Cause I was born at the right time
[CHORUS:]
                                 G
And now I'm living on the coastline

                        C

                            F
Now I'm drinking the good wine

                          C
Go fishing in the summertime

                            G
Sleep all day if I have a mind

                                 C    G   Am
'Cause I was born at the right time
[BRIDGE:]
                                F                    Am
And so while wishing that we'll all see better days

                          F             G  Am
My secret feeling is, I'm happy in my ways

         G                  F
An inner smile comes on me, thinking of the past

    C
But I won't sigh for days gone by

Am               G  C
Now is where I'm at___
