Song: The New Year
This is the chords without the capo.
[D# C](x4)
D# C
so this is the new year.
D# C
and I don't feel any different.
D# C
the clanking of crystal
D# C G# Bb G# D#
explosions off in the distance (in the distance).
D# C
so this is the new year
D# C
and I have no resolutions
D# C
for self-assigned penance
D# C
for problems with easy solutions
[D#]
G#
so everybody put your best suit or dress on
Bb
let's make believe that we are wealthy for just this once
G#
lighting firecrackers off on the front lawn
Bb
as thirty dialogues bleed into one
G#
I wish the world was flat like the old days
Bb
then I could travel just by folding a map
G#
no more airplanes, or speedtrains, or freeways
Bb
there'd be no distance that can hold us back.
[G#]
Bb
there'd be no distance that could hold us back
C
there'd be no distance that could hold us back
D#
there'd be no distance that could hold us back
[G# Bb C D#]
D# Cm
so this is the new year (x4)
[Bb]
