Chord/Tab song: When We Were the New Boys

Capo 1

[Intro]
[C] [C] [G] [C]

[Verse]
With laughing [C]eyes I do recall
Every [G]face that crammed this [C]hall
And in this [C]room our hats were hung
And words were [G]written and songs were [C]sung

[Chorus]
And we [F]held our glasses [C]high
And we [F]dared to [G]reach for the[Am] sky
And we [Dm]never would grow [Am]old
When we were the[Dm] ne[F]w [C]boys

[Verse]
And on these [C]streets we were like kings
We'd roll and [G]tumble, fight and s[C]ing
And in these [C]smoky pubs the yarns were spun
And many a sweet[G]heart was lost and [C]won

[Chorus]
And on these [F]green fields we played for [C]pride
No quarter [F]given, [G]no compro[Am]mise
We were [Dm]lovers and we were [Am]sons
When we were the[Dm] ne[F]w [C]boys
When we were the[Dm] ne[F]w [C]boys

[Verse]
Behind this [C]cellar door on cheap guitars
We played our [G]blues till the early [C]hours
No one [C]listening but a few old friends
We never [G]dreamed it could ever [C]end

[Chorus]
This was our [F]moment, this was our [C]space
This was a [F]jewel of a [G]time to have gr[Am]aced
But they're [Dm]all sweet memories [Am]now
When we were the[Dm] ne[F]w [C]boys
When we were the[Dm] ne[F]w [C]boys

[Bridge]
[G]All my [Am]life I've been [F]running
down the side of this [C]hill
[G]But way down deep in my[Am] heart
don't want the [F]water to [C]ever be [F]still

[Verse]
All these [C]friends have long since gone
Blown and [G]scattered like autumn [C]leaves
Some are [C]lawyers and some are thieves
Some are [G]now behind the [C]sun

[Chorus]
But I'll [F]never, never be [C]afraid
From the [F]cradle [G]to the [Am]grave
I learned my [Dm]lesson and I learned it [Am]well
When we were the[Dm] ne[F]w [C]boys
When we were the[Dm] ne[F]w [C]boys

[C] [C] [G] [C]
[C] [C] [G] [C]
[Outro]
And we [F]held our glasses [C]high
And we [F]dared to [G]reach for the [Am]sky
And we [Dm]never would grow [Am]old
When we were the[Dm] ne[F]w [C]boys
When we were the[Dm] ne[F]w [C]boys
When we were the[Dm] ne[F]w [C]boys
When we were the[Dm] ne[F]w [C]boys

[C] [C] [G] [C]
[C] [C] [G] [C]
