A New England (ver2) Chords - Billy Bragg






This is the original version. A nice thing is on the chorus to put your little finger on 
(the G) to give a nice accent.

I was twenty-one years when I wrote this song
Im twenty-two now, but I wont be for long
People ask me when will I grow up to be a man
Why the girls I knew at school are already pushing prams
C / G Am / F Em / G F C

I loved you then as I love you still
Though I put you on a pedestal, you put me on the pill
I dont feel bad about letting you go
I just feel sad about letting you know

F                          C              Am
I dont want to change the world; Im not looking for a New England
     F                          E  G
Are you looking for another girl?
F               C Am
I dont want to change the world; Im not looking for a New England
        F                     C
 Are you looking for another girl?

I loved the words you wrote to me
But that was bloody yesterday
I cant survive on what you send
Every time you need a friend

I saw two shooting stars last night
I wished on them, but they were only satellites
Its wrong to wish on space hardware
I wish, I wish, I wish youd care

CHORUS
