The Kingston Trio – Born At The Right Time (Guitar)

                               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

                              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

                               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

                        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

                                 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

                                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...

                                 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)
