Born in the middle of the afternoon
D                               G    Am
In a horsedrawn carriage on the old A-5
The big twelve wheeler shook my bed
D           Am            D        Em
You can't stay here the policeman said

Am             G         D          Em
You'd better get born in some place else
Am          G

Born in the common by a building site
D                                  G        Am
Where the ground was rutted by the trail of wheels
The local Christian said to me
       D         Am       D     Em
You'll lower the price of property

Am             G         D          Em

Am
Born at the back of a hawthorn hedge
D                                            G Am
Where the black hole frost lay on the ground
No eastern kings came bearing gifts
D                  Am     D     Em
Instead the order came to shift

Am             G         D          Em

The eastern sky was full of stars
       D                             G Am
And one shone brighter than the rest
The wise men came so stern and strict
        D                   Am      D   Em
And brought the orders to evict

Am             G         D          Em
You'd better get born in some place else
Am          G
Move along get along

D                                        G Am
Last month, last year or in far off days
Born here or a thousand miles away
              D          Am           D  Em
There's always men nearby who'll say

Am             G         D          Em

Am          G
