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
And I had lost my token
D
You were looking bent and broken
A                       D
Staring sideways with the rain coming down

F#m                     E
But I am so enthralled
A       
O New England
                   D
La da dum da
A
O New England
                    D
La da dum dum

This here is the fable of a failed attempt
(Fable, failed attempt now)
Find new life in a love in the seat of its origin
(Failed attempt, now)

From Long to Coney Island
From mid to west to upper Highland
And all I got is a silk full colored souvenier

The new millennium in New York
And all of New England
La da dum dum
O New England
O New England
In the face of your empire
I think I'd rather just wait in the car
And return to the turnpike 
Watching the New England skyline sinking below
Sinking below

We'd come seven hours down
(We'd come seven hours down)
We'd come seven hours down
(We'd come seven hours down)
