Chords used:

I haven't put the strumming pattern in these, but you can hear how many times to do each one.

Intro

Verse riff

referred to as G riff):

Sometimes I wish I was born in 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 hair

At least it took some care

Then they all went off to war

You can never have it all

Same chord pattern:

Sometimes I wish I was born in another time

Say 1924

People didn't have much money then

In fact, most folks were poor

But what about those cars

And the sound of those guitars

And the voice of Old King Cole

Soothed me to my soul

 Then the chords:

Then back to the verse pattern.

Sometimes I wish I was born in another time

In 1754

I'd go drinking with old Robbie Burns

Whose words are made of gold

Oh Christ we need him now

Said a talking Ayrshire cow

But now he's drifted up to heaven

He was only, he was only 37

Just a young man really

Cut down in his prime

Sometimes I wish I was born in 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 hair

At least they showed some flair

Then they all went off to war

 You can never have it all

 You can never have it all

 You can it some of the time

 You can have most things nearly all the time

 But you can't have it

All of the time

Repeat intro to finish.

Thats my approximation of it. Like I said, any input is appreciated.
