The Kingston Trio - Born at the right time

Young men's hope are dashed to ^BHell, it's hard to earn a dime^E They're kicking their heels and revving their ^Bwheels Searching for a better ^Dbmtime Me, I'm kicking into my ^Bprime 'Cause I was born at the right ti^Eme ^{B E}

Old men's thoughts are in the ^Bpast, their future holds no store^E Their lives are left in tatters, ^Bfighting someone else's war^Dbm I wasn't party to that ^Bcrime 'Cause I was born at the right ti^Eme

Now I'm living on the coastline^B I got up from the breadl^Eine Now I'm drinking the good wi^Ane I go fishing in the summerti^Eme Sleep all day if I have a mi^Bnd 'Cause I was born at the right ti^Eme ^{B E} Yes, I was born at the right ti^Eme

I want no part of being ^Byoung, don't want the wisdom of a sage^E While there are songs still to be ^Bsung, new words to grace the pa^Dbmge A better age I'll never ^Bfind 'Cause I was born at the right ti^Eme

And now I'm living on the coastli^Bne I got up from the breadl^Eine Now I'm drinking the good wi^Ane I go fishing in the summerti^Eme Sleep all day if I have a mi^Bnd 'Cause I was born at the right ti^Eme ^{B Dbm}

And so while wishing that we'll ^Aall see better days ^Dbm My secret feeling is, I'm ^Abmhappy in my ^Bways ^Dbm An inner smile comes on me, ^Athinking of the past But ^GbmI won't sigh for ^Abmdays gone by ^ANow is where I'm ^Bat.^E..

And now I'm living on the coastli^Bne I got up from the breadl^Eine Now I'm drinking the good wi^Ane I go fishing in the summerti^Eme Sleep all day if I have a mi^Bnd 'Cause I was born at the right ti^Eme (I was ^Bborn) I was born at the right ti^Eme (^Bborn) 'Cause I was born at the right ti^Eme (^Bborn) At the right ti^Eme (I was ^Bborn) 'Cause I was born at the right ti^Eme (I was ^Bborn)
