          A NEW ENGLAND, Billy Bragg           

                D
       1. I was twenty-one years when I wrote this song
              A                    h
          I'm twenty-two now but I won't be for long
          G                                D
          People ask me when will you grow up to be a man
                      A                             G                D
          But all the girls I loved at school are already pushing prams

            D
       2. I loved you then as I love you still
                   A                        h
          Though I put you on a pedestal, I put you on the pill
            G                    D
          I don't feel bad about letting you go
            A                    G              D  DDG
          I just feel bad about letting you know

             G                  fis        D

             I'm not looking for A New England
                      G                   fis   A
             I'm just looking for another girl

             G                  fis        D
             I don't want to change the world
             D          A                 h
             I'm not looking for A New England
                      G            A      D
             I'm just looking for another girl

       3. I loved the words you wrote to me
              A                h
          but that was bloody yesterday
            G                 D
          I can't survive on what you send
          A             G           D
          Everytime you need a friend

            D
       4. I saw two shooting stars last night
            A                    h
          I wished on them - but they were only sattelites
                G                D
          Is It wrong to wish on space hardware?
            A             G             D  DDG
          I wish I wish I wish you'd care
