(Capo on 3)
Intro.:  |3/4(D) / (G)|4/4(D) / / / | x 2
I (D)wish I'd been born in a (G)different (D)day
With cow-(G)boys like old Gus McCrae
I'd just (Em)saddle up and ride a-(G)way
I (A)wish I'd been born in a (G)different (D)day
Well, I (D)wish I could've lived in a (G)different (D)time
When (G)Willie and Waylon walked the line
It's an (Em)era long gone and it seems a (G)crime
I (A)wish I could've lived in a (G)different (D)time
(Chorus)
Well, I'm (G)stuck out here in no man's land
Just an (D)ace of spades in a (A)diamond flush (D) hand
I still (Bm)do the best I (A)can to fit (G)in
But (Em)time it ain't ever really been my (A) friend
Solo:  |3/4(D) / (G)|4/4(D) / / / | x 2
Well I (D)wish you could've seen me in a (G)different (D)light
I (G)wish I could've been your shining knight
But I'll (Em)always be a friend in your (G)eyes
Well, I (A)wish you could've seen me in a (G)different (D)light
Solo:  |4/4(Bm) / / (A)|(G) / / / |(Bm) / / / |(A) / /
(Chorus)
And now I'm (G)stuck out here in no man's land
I'm just an (D)ace of spades in a (A)diamond flush (D) hand
I still (Bm)do the best I (A)can to fit (G) in
But (Em)time it ain't ever really been my (A) friend
Well I (D)wish I'd been born in a (G/D)different (D)day
(D/F#) With cow-(G)boys like old Gus McCrae
And I'd have just (Em)saddled up and rode a-(G)way
I (A)wish I'd been born in a (G)different (D)day
