Streets Of New England

G D Church bells rang out in the street Em C For the men coming home from over sea G D And our town breathed a sigh of relief C G Like a curse had been lifted G D By the stand where we watched the parade Em C We ate popcorn and drank lemonade G D With the sun on our faces; we played C G The streets of New England G D I could see when he stepped off of the bus Em C As he made his way over to us G D He's not the same mas as he was C G Before he listed C D And she stood there alone in the door Em C I said "Mama, don't cry anymore. G D Now that daddy's come back from the war, Em C everything will be different" G D When the hot summer sun went down Em C Mama put on her green evening gown G D They went out, a night on the town C G The streets of New England
