A New England Tab

by Billy Bragg


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

Verse:

 
I was twenty-one years when I wrote this song
                        
I'm twenty-two now but I won't be for long
(6)                            
People ask me when will you grow up to be a man
            (8)                                              
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, they put you on the pill
   (6)                          
I don't feel bad about letting you go
  (8)                           
I just feel sad about letting you know

Chorus:

(6)            (5)      
I don't want to change the world
                         (5)
I'm not looking for A New England
                                   
I'm just looking for another girl
(6)            (5)      
I don't want to change the world
                         (5)
I'm not looking for A New England
                          
I'm just looking for another girl

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

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


(6)            (5)      
I don't want to change the world
                         (5)
I'm not looking for A New England
                                   
I'm just looking for another girl
(6)            (5)      
I don't want to change the world
                         (5)
I'm not looking for A New England
                          
I'm just looking for another girl
