New London Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]When you drive down Main Street
in a passing car
There's nothing to do
that ain't a cold, [C]dark bar
Yeah, that much I [G]know
No neon lights, no movie stars
It's the same old place
Where your weekend [C]starts
On a Friday [G]night
Hey, there's the whiskey
and she takes the gin
Come on, mama,
we're gonna do it [C]again
We'll split when the coast is [G]clear
Out through the alley in the parking lot
Up round the back
To the old [C]rooftops
To get a good look [G]around
Oh, I see a big idea, boarded up shop after all these years,
[C]in my own tow[G]n
Yeah, you know it's not a pretty sight
It's just New London on a Friday night
[C][G][D][C][G]
[C][G][C][G][C][G]
Well, he had a belly full of licor -ade
She had his baby from that
one night [C]stand
And then he had to [G]go
He picked it up and put it down again
One bad habit got the best of [C]him
And God rest his [G]soul
Shots ring out and then his baby cry
In front of Ernie's bar
All them flashing light[C]s
People would crowd [G]around
Who is that laying in a pool of blood?
Man, thank God it wasn't one of [C]us
No, not this [G]time
[D]Yeah, it's just you and [C]me on a Friday night
[G][C][G][C]
[G][C][G][D][C]
[G][C][G][C][G][C][G]
A downtown strip that's got
a bit of [Gm]soul
[G]Loneliness that makes your
heart grow [C]cold
Yeah, night after [G]night
A whiskey river and a flood of sin
Well, come on, boys,
don't let it do you [C]in
Although it may [G]try
There's no need to make a fuss
There's plenty of room
here for all of [C]us
Yeah, in this small [G]town[C][G]
[C]The [G]band keeps playing till the final call
[C]We [G]all had too much alcohol,
but it's alright
[C]It's alright
[G]It'[D]s just new London on a F[C]riday night[G]
[D]It's just new London on[C]
a Friday [G]night[D]
It's just new London [C]on a Friday [G]night
[C]I d[G]on't love you
I [C]don't know [G]how [C]I c[G]an you[C][G][C]
[G][C][G][C][G][C][G]
[C][G][C][G][C][G]
You
