Capo 1

[Intro]
C C G C

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

C C G C
C C G C

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