A New England Chords

   
This is pretty much the same as version 1, but with a few little tweaks here and 
there to make it sound better

Verse:

F F/E
I was twenty-one years when I wrote this song
    C                    Dm
I'm twenty-two now but I won't be for long
Bb(6)                            F
People ask me when will you grow up to be a man
            C(8)                          Bb                   F F/E
But all the girls I loved at school are already pushing prams

F F/E
I loved you then as I love you still
          C                          Dm
Though I put you on a pedestal, they put you on the pill
   Bb(6)                F          Bb
I don't feel bad about letting you go
  C(8)                Bb          F F/E
I just feel sad about letting you know

Chorus:
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/b/billy_bragg/a_new_england_crd_ver_3.html ]
Bb(6)            Am(5)      F
I don't want to change the world
F                   F/E      Dm(5)
I'm not looking for A New England
            Bb                 Am    C Csus4 C
I'm just looking for another girl
Bb(6)            Am(5)      F
I don't want to change the world
F                   F/E      Dm(5)
I'm not looking for A New England
            Bb           C   F
I'm just looking for another girl

Verse:
F F/E
I loved the words you wrote to me
    C                    Dm
but that was bloody yesterday
Bb(6)                       F
I can't survive on what you send
C              Bb      F F/E
Every time you need a friend

F F/E
I saw two shooting stars last night
    C                Dm (5)
I wished on them but they were only satellites
Bb(6)                            F
Is It wrong to wish on space hardware?
C(8)            Bb (6)     F F/E
I wish I wish I wish you'd care


Bb(6)            Am(5)      F
I don't want to change the world
F                   F/E      Dm(5)
I'm not looking for A New England
            Bb                 Am    C Csus4 C
I'm just looking for another girl
Bb(6)            Am(5)      F
I don't want to change the world
F                   F/E      Dm(5)
I'm not looking for A New England
            Bb           C   F
I'm just looking for another girl
