Standard (EADGBE)
~VERSE~
Looking at the radio caught up in a dream
About the days gone by when no one had a TV
Hoping that the weather man would say good things
Like no rain on Friday for the drive in movie
Little kids didn't have a care
There was love growing up everywhere
But when I open my eyes and the dream stops playing
You can still find me somewhere saying
~CHORUS~
I should have been born in forty five
In fifty four I would have been nine
White shirt poodle skirt silk hair tie
Dancing in the moonlight that would have been nice
Ooh ooh oh that would have been nice ooh ooh
~VERSE~
Boombox on my shoulder with my favorite tape
I'm reppin' my 8 tracks and my buckle up skates
How do I know about that you say you say
You wear bell bottom jeans get a double take
From all the guys and the girls who look your way
Back then the people didn't always agree
But the love going round was revolutionary and
~PRE~CHORUS~
Even though the world was crazy I'd still go if my dreams could take me
~CHORUS~
I should have been born in sixty five
In seventy four I would have been nine
Trying to get home after playing outside
Racing street lights racing street lights
I should have been born in sixty five
I would have been a teenager round seventy nine
Teasing my hair so it looks just right
On a Saturday night yeah that would have been nice
~BRIDGE~
Growing up I never really had a care
There was love all the time and everywhere
And even though sometimes my world may get a little crazy
I find myself being proud when I say
~CHORUS~
I could have been born in forty five
But the truth is I got here right on time
And I thank God for every day of my life
It suits me just right it suits me just right
And lovely nineteen ninety one
That's the year that I come from
And I wouldn't want to trade it for another time
I love this life yeah I love this life
~OUTRO~
It fades out repeating the outro.
Ooh ooh I love this life ooh ooh I love this life
I hope you enjoy my interpretation of the chords for this song.
Peace, Love, I'm out.
