Difficulty: Novice

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

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

Chorus:
Bm            E
But I am so enthralled
A
O New England
      D
La da dum dum
A
O New England
      D
La da dum dum

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

Chorus:
Bm                        E
The new millennium in New York
               A
And all of New England
      D
La da dum dum
      A
O New England
      D
La da dum dum

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

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