A New England

[Bored? Can't get to sleep? Tab some songs- your roomates will love you

in the morning!]

Billy Bragg's "A New England". You'll have to get the rhythm/feel of this

yourself... a lot of it is palm muted, etc, but then he hits chords pretty

hard and open... so, have fun!

the main chords are F and F with an E bass... mute it and use your pointer

for the bass string, dropping to an open E as necessary... most of the chords

are the E-Bar... slide between them... and play with it!

F F/E(1fr)

I was twenty-one years when I wrote this song

-->C(8fr) -->Dm(10fr)

I'm twenty-two now but I won't be for long

Bb(6) F(1)

People ask me when will you grow up to be a man

-->C(8) Bb(6) F F/E...

But all the girls I loved at school are already pushing prams

I loved you then as I love you still

Though I put you on a pedestal, I put you on the pill

I don't feel bad about letting you go

I just feel bad about letting you know

Bb(6) Am(5) F(1)

I don't want to change the world

F F/E Dm(5)

I'm not looking for A New England

I'm just looking for another girl

I don't want to change the world

I'm not looking for A New England

I'm just looking for another girl

I loved the words you wrote to me

but that was bloody yesterday

I can't survive on what you send

Everytime you need a friend

I saw two shooting stars last night

I wished on them but they were only sattelites

Is It wrong to wish on space hardware?

I wish I wish I wish you'd care

I don't want to change the world...

ends up with F(8fr)/C(8)/Bb(6)/C(8). last chord is an Fmaj7.
