A New England: Chords

Intro:
DO SOL/DO    FA/DO DO

      DO           
I was twenty one years when I wrote this song
    SOL                   LAm
I'm twenty two now, but I won't be for long
FA                            DO/MI
People ask when will you grow up to be a man
            SOL
But all the girls I loved at school
      FA               DO
Are already pushing prams
   
I loved you then as I love you still
      SOL
Tho I put you on a pedestal,
     LAm
They put you on the pill
  FA                   DO/MI
I don't feel bad about letting you go
  SOL                 FAadd9
I just feel sad about letting you know
                           DO
I don't want to change the world
                MIm/SI    LAm
I'm not looking for a new England
         FA                  MI    SOL
I'm just looking for another girl
FA                          DO
 I don't want to change the world
                MIm/SI    LAm
I'm not looking for a new England
         FA           SOL    DO SOL/DO    FA/DO DO
I'm just looking for another girl

  DO
I loved the words you wrote to me
    SOL             LAm
But that was bloody yesterday
  FA               DO/MI
I can't survive on what you send
SOL            FA          DO
Every time you need a friend
                      
I saw two shooting stars last night
  SOL                LAm   
I wished on them but they were only satellites
      FA               DO/MI
Is it wrong to wish on space hardware
  SOL             FAadd9
I wish, I wish, I wish you'd care
                           DO
I don't want to change the world
                MIm/SI    LAm
I'm not looking for a new England
         FA                  MI    SOL
I'm just looking for another girl
FA                          DO
 I don't want to change the world
                MIm/SI    LAm
I'm not looking for a new England
         FA

   RE
My dreams were full of strange ideas
   LA             SIm
My mind was set despite the fears
    SOL              RE/FA#
But other things got in the way
  LA               SOL      RE
I never asked that boy to stay

Once upon a time at home
  LA             SIm
I sat beside the telephone
SOL                    RE/FA#
Waiting for someone to pull me through
        LA                     SOL
When at last it didn't ring, I knew it wasn't you
                           RE
I don't want to change the world
                RE/DO#    SIm
I'm not looking for a new England
        SOL                 FA#    LA
Are you looking for another girl?

 I don't want to change the world

Are you looking for another?

A New England è un brano reinterpretato da Kirsty MacColl, la cui versione è stata pubblicata come singolo nel 1984. Canzone che risale all'anno precedente, quando nasceva dalla penna del cantautore britannico Billy Bragg, era stata inserita nell'EP di quest'ultimo intitolato Life's a Riot with Spy Vs Spy. Il testo mette in scena la storia di un ragazzo che dalla vita non pretende grossi sconvolgimenti: quindi non certo una "nuova Inghilterra" ma più semplicemente, magari, trovare una nuova ragazza di cui innamorarsi! La versione della cantante londinese la rese una hit internazionale.
