Chords for Billy Bragg A New England

_ All this shit happened to me. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ That's really complicated mate. _ _
Because, I heard you.
_ I can't remember where it falls in the catalogue.
Of things.
And if I can't remember where it falls in the [Ebm] catalogue of things,
the chances of remembering the chords or the words are [N] very very slim.
_ _ So I have to apologise for that.
_ _ _ 8.30. and I have to be [B] in Essex to play that mate. I've got to get out for almost all this shit. Anybody else want to take me [N] on? _ _ _ What? _ Really? _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ You sure? Yeah _ it's alright apparently. Down the front here. And this one really did happen to me. I was walking back home from the pub one night, in a town in East Northamptonshire. A Black Lion Lane, the name of the pub, I was on the look-out and I saw these two shooting stars. No, four shooting [G] stars. But they just, they didn't, I [N] expected them to burn bright and come down together like that, but they didn't, they just kept on going. And I realised _ I'd misadventured myself. So let's finish off with a good old sing-song. You've been a great audience [Cm] tonight, I really appreciate you. [Eb] For the [N] sake_ _ _ _ _ _ _ I appreciate you hanging onto your tickets, I appreciate you coming out on a Saturday night, and I appreciate your patience with me. While I felt my way back into how to do this gig, how to fit it together, how many songs it needed, you know, and you didn't really notice that I rammed in an extra three at the end there, just to make sure that it kind of like, did the whole thing. So yeah, I've had a great time, I hope you have too. Let's do this again sometime. Thanks very much. [F] _ _ _ I _ _ _ _ _ _ _ was 21 years when I wrote this [Cm] song, I'm 22 [D] now but I won't be for long.

[E] Can't survive [F] on what you [C] say, _ Every time [Bb] you need [E] a [F] _ _ _ friend. I saw two cute teen stars last [C] night, I wish them dead.
