Subject: chords:New Kid On the Block by Barenaked Ladies
This is a funny and fun song by what is becoming my favorite band the
more I listen to them. The basic structure of the song is verses
alternating between Em and C major, and the chorus following A G-Am-F progression. I'm probably way off on some of the lyrics, but hopefully
you get the idea.
Em C I didn't ask to be famous Em C But I'm not sore Em C Em C You can see my face in the window of every store Em C You can buy my lunch box Em C You can wear my clothes Em C Em C You can see my name its as plain as the face under your nose
CHORUS:
G Am F I'm a new kid on the block G Am F Well I may not be Johann Sebastian Bach G Am F And we may not write the songs we sing G Am F But look at Elvis he sold his soul and you crowned him king EM C I DIDNT ASK TO BE FAMOUS EM C BUT IM NOT SAD EM YA SEE IVE GOT EVERYTHING THAT I ALWAYS WISHED I HAD
IN FACT ME MIND IS TIRED
IM TIRED OF SCREAMING GIRLS
I THANK MY HAIRDRESSER FOR
GIVING ME SUCH BEAUTIFUL CURLS
NOW IM A NEW KID ON THE BLOCK
WELL IM 23 AND THEY WONT LET ME GROW UP
I WENT DOWN TO REGISTER FOR THE DRAFT
WELL I GOT UP TO THE COUNTER AND
THE LADY THERE JUST LAUGHED
CHORUS:
SHE SAID YOUR A NEW KID ON THE BLOCK
YOUNG GIRLS AND OLD BOYS MOCK
WELL YOU BROKE MY YOUNGEST DAUGHTERS HEART
WELL I KNEW YOU KIDS WERE TROUBLE FROM THE START
I DIDN'T ASK TO BE FAMOUS,BUT I'M NOT SURE
THAT WERE AS APPLE PIE AS YOU ALWAYS THOUGHT WE WERE
I CAN STAY UP ALL NIGHT,I CAN HAVE A BLAST
I CAN BREAKDANCE,I CAN FIGHT,I CAN KICK YOUR SORRY ASS
I'M A NEW KID ON THE BLOCK
AND THOUGH I MAY NOT BE JOHANN SEBASTION BACH
THERES NO NEED TO BE AFRAID OF US
THOUGH IT JUST MIGHT BE YOUR DAUGHTER ON OUR BUS
