Bragg Billy - A New England guitar chord

#

From: rousseaf@saguenay.IRO.UMontreal.CA (Francois Rousseau)

Billy Bragg's "A New England".  You'll have to get the rhythm/feel of this

yourself... a lot of it is palm muted, etc, but then he hits chords pretty

hard and open... so, have fun!

the main chords are F and F with an E bass... mute it and use your pointer

for the bass string, dropping to an open E as necessary... most of the chords

are the E-Bar... slide between them... and play with it!

F F/E(1fr)

I was twenty-one years when I wrote this song

-->C(8fr)            -->Dm(10fr)            

I'm twenty-two now but I won't be for long

Bb(6)                            F(1)

People ask me when will you grow up to be a man

         -->C(8)                          Bb(6)                F F/E...

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, I put you on the pill

I don't feel bad about letting you go

I just feel bad about letting you know

Bb(6)              Am(5)      F(1)

   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

   I don't want to change the world

   I'm not looking for A New England

            Bb           C      F

   I'm just 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

Everytime you need a friend

I saw two shooting stars last night

I wished on them but they were only sattelites

Is It wrong to wish on space hardware?

I wish I wish I wish you'd care

I don't want to change the world...

ends up with F(8fr)/C(8)/Bb(6)/C(8). last chord is an Fmaj7.
