Back

A New England Tab

by 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
I¡¦m twenty-two now, but I won¡¦t 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
 /   /   /   

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

                             			           
I don¡¦t want to change the world; I¡¦m not looking for a New England
 	                               „³ 
Are you looking for another girl?
          			     						 
I don¡¦t want to change the world; I¡¦m not looking for a New England
  	                           
„³ Are you 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
Every time you need a friend

I saw two shooting stars last night
I wished on them, but they were only satellites
It¡¦s wrong to wish on space hardware
I wish, I wish, I wish you¡¦d care
