Bright New Day (from Blood Brothers)

Oh, bright new day,

we're movin' away.

We're (G)startin' all (A)over again.

(D)Oh, bright new day,

we're going away.

Where (G)nobody's heard (A)of our (D)name.

Where (Em7)we can begin again,

(A)feel we can win and then (Em7)live just like living should (A)be.

We got a (Em7)new situation, a (A)new destination and no (G)reputation is (C)following (A)me.

We're getting (D)out, we're moving house,

we're (G)starting all (A)over again.

(D)We're leaving this mess

for our new address

(G)"Sixtyfive, (A)Skelmersdale (D)Lane".

The (Em7)air is so pure, you get drunk (A)just by breathing,

the (Em7)washing stays clean on the line.

(A)There's (Em)space for the kids 'cause the (A)garden's that big,

it would take you a week (G)just to (C)reach the far side.

(Bb)Oh, that's too (F)bad!

Oh, isn't it sad?

Praise the (Bb)Lord, he has (C)delivered us at (F)last.

We mustn't scoff!

The Johnstones are off.

Clap your (Bb)hands, grab your (C)whistle,

give it a (F)blast.

(Gm)Goodbye to the riffraff, the (C)trash and the trouble.

(Gm)Goodbye to the scum and the (C)scruff.

(Gm)Wherever you're going, we (C)hope you go knowing,

that as far as you're (Bb)going won't (D#dim)be far enough!

(A)Just pack up the (D)bags, we're leaving the rags,

the wobbly (G)wardrobe, chest of (A)drawers that (D)never close.

The two legged chair,

the carpet so bare

you wouldn't (G)see it if it (A)wasn't for the (D)holes.

We'll (Em)Now that we're moving, now (A)that we're improving,

let's that (Em)just wash our hands of this lot.

(A)For it's (Em)no longer fitting, for (A)me to be sitting on a (G)sofa,

I know for that a (C)fact was knocked off.

(A)We might get a (D)car, we're All lardiedah,

the and go (G)driving out of (A)to that nev (D)the sands.
