Chorus
[D] [Em7] [G] [D]
Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair
[D] [G] [Asus]
In 77 and 69 revolution was in the air
[D] [Em7] [Bm] [G]
I was born too late to a world that doesn’t care
[D] [Em7] [G] [D]
Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair
Verse
[D]
When the head of state didn’t play guitar,
[Em7]
Not everybody drove a car,
[A] [Em7]* [D]
When music really mattered and when radio was king,
[D]
When accountants didn’t have control
[Em7]
And the media couldn’t buy your soul
[A] [Em7]* [D]
And computers were still scary and we didn’t know everything
Chorus
[D] [Em7] [G] [D]
Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair
[D] [G] [Asus]
In 77 and 69 revolution was in the air
[D] [Em7] [Bm] [G]
I was born too late to a world that doesn’t care
[D] [Em7] [G] [D]
Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair
Verse
[D]
When popstars still remained a myth
[Em7]
And ignorance could still be bliss
[A] [Em7] [D]
And when God saved the Queen she turned a whiter shade of pale
[D]
When my mom and dad were in their teens
[Em7]
and anarchy was still a dream
[A] [Em7] [D]
and the only way to stay in touch was a letter in the mail
Chorus
[D] [Em7] [G] [D]
Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair
[D] [G] [Asus]
In 77 and 69 revolution was in the air
[D] [Em7] [Bm] [G]
I was born too late to a world that doesn’t care
[D] [Em7] [G] [D]
Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair
Verse
[D]
When record shops were still on top
[Em7]
and vinyl was all that they stocked
[A] [Em7] [D]
and the super-info highway was still drifting out in space
[D]
kids were wearing hand me downs,
[Em7]
and playing games meant kick arounds
[A] [Em7] [D]
and footballers still had long hair and dirt across their face
Chorus
[D] [Em7] [G] [D]
Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair
[D] [G] [Asus]
In 77 and 69 revolution was in the air
[D] [Em7] [Bm] [G]
I was born too late to a world that doesn’t care
[D] [Em7] [G] [D]
Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair
[D] [Em7] [Bm] [G]
I was born too late to a world that doesn’t care
[D] [Em7] [G] [D]
Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair
