Born Too Late Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][C][G][C][G][D][G][C]
[D]Well

[Verse 1]
[G]I'd ride
shotgun [D]on a Wells Fargo [G]stage
From Santa Fe out west
[D]to the Frisco Bay[G]
So I could stop and smoke the sagebrush
And get to [C]California for the gold rush
[G]Singing old Susan[D]na all the way
[G]Just once I'd like to rid[D]e
with Jesse [G]James
I'd spend the night in Tucson lov
[D]in' Uncle Lemony [G]Jane
I'd co -write a song with Stephen Foster
and a [C]book like Omar Twain
Back when [G]slow was a river boat
and [D]speed was still a [G]train
I've [D]been long, long,
I was born too [G]late[D][C][G]
So [D]now I'm longing for them good old days
[G]Bac[C]k whe[D]n t[G]he wild,
wild west was warm
Back when [C]everything to do
had already been [G]done
Lord, [D]Lord, I was born too
[G]late[C][G][C][G][D]
[G][C][D]
[G]I'd rather ride bareback
than [D]buy me a new Cadillac
[G]Cause these days everybody's a[D]
-chuckin' nowhere [G]fast
Before Henry Ford
the air was fit to breathe
And there [C]weren't so
many damn factories
And [G]one little button couldn't
[D]blow us all [G]away
I [D]said, long, long, I was born too late
[G]So [D]now[G] I'[C]m l[G]ong[D]ing
for them good old [G]days[C][D]
[G]Back when the Wild Wild
West was round
Back when [C]everything to do
had already been done
[G]Lord, Lord, [D]I was born too l[G]ate[C]
I said, [G]Lord, Lord,
[D]I must have been born too late
[G][C][D]
