Verse:
A augmentedA             D MajorD
We'd come seven hours down
A augmentedA                D MajorD
Took the blue line to see where we hopped out
A augmentedA           D MajorD
And I was only joking, I was only joking
A augmentedA           D MajorD
And I was only trying to get a laugh

A augmentedA                     D MajorD
You say this was the furthest that we had come
A augmentedA               D MajorD
We traveled so far to watch it fall undone
A augmentedA            D MajorD
And I had lost my token, you were looking bent and broken
A augmentedA             D MajorD
Staring sideways with the rain coming down

But I am so enthralled

O New England

O New England
   D MajorD
La da dum dum

Verse:
A augmentedA                    D MajorD
This here is the fable of a failed attempt
(Fable, failed attempt, now.)
A augmentedA                 D MajorD
To find new life in a love in the seat of its origin
(failed attempt, now)
A augmentedA             D MajorD
From Long to Coney Island, from Mid to West to Upper Highland
A augmentedA                D MajorD
And all I got is this ill-gotten full color souvenir

Chorus:
B minorBm            E MajorE
The new millennium in New York
        A augmentedA
And all of New England
   D MajorD
La da dum dum
   A augmentedA
O New England
   D MajorD
La da dum dum

Bridge:
   B minorBm
O New England
          D MajorD
In the face of your empire
                  B minorBm
I think I'd rather just wait in the car
         D MajorD
And return to the turnpike
            E MajorE
Watching New England's skyline sinking below
     A augmentedA
Sinking below
     D MajorD
Sinking below

Outro:
A augmentedA           D MajorD
We'd come seven hours down
A augmentedA           D MajorD
We'd come seven hours down, down
A augmentedA           D MajorD
We'd come seven hours down
A augmentedA           D MajorD
We'd come seven hours down, down
