[G]Sometimes I wish I was born in another time
[G]A long long time ago
[G]Things were much harder then
[G]But I like the clothes they wore
And the way they did their h[C]air
[Bm]       At least it took some c[C]are
[Bm]       Then they all went off to [C]war
[Bm]       You can nev[G]er 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: [C] [Bm] [Am7]

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

[G]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[Am7] have it[Bm] all
You can ne[C]ver have it[G] all
You can it s[Am7]ome of the time  [Bm]
You can have most things[C] nearly all the [G]time
But you can't have it  [C]
[Bm]All of the t[Am7]ime

Repeat intro to finish.

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