[Verse 1]
D A Bm
Come back home to the hearth you wallowed
D A Bm
All that time, out your own damn body
D A Bm
Soul worn down to the pavement, bloody
D A Bm
The corner store still takes our rubbish
[Pre-Chorus]
He goes G then D then A but in the song his G is like a C shape
Barred on the 7th fret and he's barring the D chord. And since
Its a big jump from an open A to the 7th fret G, its ok to play
an A barre chord but the open A still sounds alright.

G D A
To the bay state, where we'll lay down in the ground
G D A
To the lady, with a pin stuck in her frown
G D A
To the warehouse, allowed for me to dream
D A
To the vibrant college scene
D A
To the addicts coming clean
D A
To the place apart of me
[Chorus]
G D A
Oh, New England
G D
Our, New England
A G D A
To live and die in New England
G
Oh, New England
A/D
An autumn paradise
[Verse 2]
D A Bm
Come back home to the ones who raised you
D A Bm
All that time in the cold, dark basement
D A Bm
All grown up in the face, black and blue
D A Bm
The old red line still takes where you want to
[Pre-Chorus 2]
G D A
To the bay state, where we'll lay down in the ground
G D A
To the lady, who grew up by herself
G D A
To the shipyard, oh dad had used his hands
D A
To the Sunday football stands
D A
To the sea wall where I planned
D A
To the place I've grown, a man
[Chorus]
G D A
Oh, New England
G D
My, New England
A G D A
To live and die in New England
G
Oh, New England
A/D
An autumn paradise
