O New England Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][C][G][C]
[G]

[Verse 1]
We'd come [G]seven
[C]hours [G]down
Took the blue line to see
[C]where we hopped [G]out
And I was only joking,
[C]I was only jok[G]ing
And I was only trying [C]to get a laugh

[Verse 2]
[G]
You say this was the furthest that
we had [C]come[G]
We traveled so far to watch
[C]it fall [G]undone
And I had lost my token,
[C]you were looking bent and bro[G]ken
Staring sideways with the
[C]rain coming down

[Verse 3]
[Am]
But I am so en[D]thralled
O New [G]England
La da [C]dum dum
O New [G]England
La da [C]dum dum

[Verse 4]
[G]
This here is the fable of a failed attempt
[C]To [G]find new life in a love in
[C]the seat of its [G]origin
From Long to Coney Island,
[C]from Mid to West to Upper Hig[G]hland
And all I got is this ill- gotten
full [C]color souvenir

[Verse 5]
[Am]
The new millennium in New [D]York
And all of New [G]England
La da [C]dum dum
O New [G]England
La da [C]dum dum

[Verse 6]
O New [Am]England
In the face of your empire
[C]I think I'd rather just wait in the[Am] car
And return to the turnpike
[C]Watching New England's
sky[D]line sinking below
[G]Sinking below
[C]Sinking below

[Interlude 1]
[C][G][C][G]

[Verse 7]
We'd come [G]seven hours [C]down
We'd come [G]seven hours [C]down,
[G]down
We'd come seven hours [C]down[G]
We'd come seven hours [C]down, down
