Intro 1
(G major)
(Dsus4) (G major)
Verse 1
Sometimes I wish I was born in (G major)
another time
A long long time ago
Things were much harder then
But I like the clothes they wore
And the way they did their (Csus2) hair
At (G major) least they took some care (Csus2) (G major)
Then they all went off (Csus2) to war (G major)

Verse 2
You can never have it all
(G major)
Sometimes I wish I was
born in another time
Say in 1924
People didn't have much money then
In fact most folks were poor
But what about those (Csus2) cars (G major)
And the sound of those (Csus2) guitars (G major)
And the voice of Old (Csus2) King
(C major) Cole (Csus2) (G major)
Interlude 1
Soothed me to my soul
(G major) (Csus2) (G major)
(D major) (Dsus4) (D major) (Dsus4) (G major)
Verse 3
Sometimes I wish I was born in (G major) another time
In 1754
I'd go drinking with old Robbie Burns
Whose words are made of gold
Oh Christ we need him (Csus2) now (G major)
Said a talking Ayrshire (Csus2) cow (G major)
But now he's drifted up (Csus2) to heaven
(G major) (Csus2) (G major) He was only 37
Just a young man really
Verse 4
Cut down in his prime
(G major)
Sometimes I wish I was born in another time
A long long time ago
Things were much harder then
But I (D major) like the clothes (G major) they wore
And the way they did their (Csus2) hair
At (G major) least they showed
(Csus2) some (C major) flair (G major)
Then they all went off (Csus2) to
war (G major) (Csus2) (G major)
Verse 5
You can never (Csus2) have (G major) it all
You can never (D major) have (G major) it all
You can have some things
some (Csus2) of the time (G major)
You can have most things (D major)
nearly (G major) all the time
But you can't have it (Csus2)
(C major) All (G major) of the time (D major) (Dsus4)
Outro 1
(D major) (Dsus4) (D major) (G major)
