^CLooking at the radio caught up in a dream, 'Bout the days gon^De by when no one had a TV, Ho^Fpin' that the weatherman would say good things, Like no rain on ^GFriday for the drive-in movie, ^CLittle kids didn't have a care, There was love growi^Gng up everywhere, But when I open my eye^Fs and the dream stops playin', ^GYou can still find me somewhere saying,

I sh^Coulda been born in '45, ^F In '54^Am I woulda ^Gbeen 9, ^CWhite shirt, Poodle skirt, Silk hair tie,^F Dancing in t^Amhe moonlight, ^G That woulda been nice, ^{C F Am G} Yeah, that woulda been nice, ^{C F Am G}
