[Intro 1]
[C][C][G][G]
[F][F][G][G]

[Verse 1]
[C]Looking at the radio caught up in a dream
'Bout the [G]days gone by when no one had a TV
[F]Hopin' that the weather man
would say good things
Like no [G]rain on friday for the drive in movie
[C]Little kids didn't have a care
There was [G]love growin' up everywhere
But when I [F]open my eyes
and the dream stops playin
[G]You can still find me somewhere saying

[Chorus 1]
I [C]shoulda been born in [F]forty-five
In [Am]fifty-four I [G]woulda been nine
[C]White shirt, poodle skirt, [F]silk hair tie
Dancing [Am]in the m[G]oonlight
that woulda been [C]nice
Ooh- ooh- ooh- [F]ooh- ooh- ooh- [Am]ooh
Oh- [G]oh, that woulda been [C]nice
Ooh- ooh- ooh- [F]ooh- ooh- ooh- [Am]ooh
Ooh- [G]ooh

[Verse 2]
Boom[C]box on my shoulder wit my favorite tape
I'm reppin' [G]my eight tracks
and my buckle up skates
[F]How do I know about that you [G]say, you say
You wear [C]bell bottom jeans get a double take
From all the [G]guys and the girls
who look your way
[F]Back then people didn't always agree
But the [G]love goin round was revolutionary and

[Pre-chorus 1]
[Am]Even though the world was craz[G]y
[D]I'd still go if my dreams could tak[F]e me,
oh

[Chorus 2]
I [C]shoulda been born in [F]sixty-five
In [Am]seventy-four I [G]woulda been nine
[C]Tryna' get home after [F]playin outside
[Am]Racin' street lights, [G]racin' street lights
I [C]shoulda been born in [F]sixty-five
I woulda [Am]been a teenager round [D]seventy-nine
[C]Teasing my hair so it [F]looks just right
On a [Am]saturday night, [G]yeah

[Bridge 1]
that woulda been
[Am](nice) Growin' up I never [F]really had a care
[Am]There was love all the time
and [F]ev [G]ery[F]where[G]
[Am]And even though sometimes
my [Dm]world may get a little crazy
I [F]find myself bein proud when I [G]say

[Chorus 3]
I [C]coulda been born in [F]forty-five
But the [Am]truth is I got here [G]right on time
And [C]I thank God for every d[F]ay in my life
It [Am]suits me just right, it [G]suits me just right
And [C]lovely nineteen
[F]ninety-one
[Am]That's the year that [D]I come from
And I [C]wouldn't wanna trade it for a[F]nother time
