Rod Stewart – When We Were The New Boys (Guitar)

              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

       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

             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

             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

            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

             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

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

          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

         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

       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
