[intro]
A D
A D
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, and 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
Travel 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
Bm E
But I am so enthralled
A D
O New England la da dum da
A D
O New England la da dum da
A D
This here is the fable of a failed attempt
A D
Find new life in a love in the seat of its origin
A
From Long to Coney Island
D
From mid to west to upper Highland
A D
And all I got is a silk full colored souvenier
Bm E
The new millennium New York
A D
and all of New England la da dum da
A D
O New England la da dum da
Bm
O New England
C# D
In the face of your em - pire
C# Bm
I think I'd rather just wait in the car
C# D
And return to the turn - pike
E
Watching the New England skyline
A
sinking below
D
sinking below
A D
We'd come seven hours down
(We'd come seven hours down)
