[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)
