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 

       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 

             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 


             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 

         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

And we never would grow old

When we were the new boys
