Lyrics of a song Graham Parker - A BRAND NEW BOOK

Intro F   Bb   C   C    \   F   Bb   C    C  \  F   Bb   Dm  Dm

 

    F                      C                 Bb                     F   

I once read the story of somebody's life  I had a few moments to spare 

F                        C                            Bb                F

He was a good man who lived with his wife  With the usual kids in his hair 

            Dm         G                         Dm         G       

There was happiness a lot of weirdness  And a sprinkle of tragedy 

     Dm                        G 

I pulled it by chance from a second hand bin  

         Bb                    C

But it could've been written just for me

 

    CHORUS 

               F        Bb   F              Bb             

Because the words came out  Not twist and shout 

        F        Bb       C                          

Cause that's not what a grown man writes about 

F                Bb   F        Bb  

That chapter's over, let it blow over  

    F               Bb         C           C         F

I found that I've become the owner  Of a brand new book

    F               Bb         C                    F

                                     a brand new book (then)

    F               Bb         C                    Dm

 

I've travelled far and I've travelled wide And I guess I'll be travelling on

Fill another suitcase up with possessions  And put on a Badfinger song 

I've got much more than most people have  And a little less than a few 

But you can't measure these things by weight  

They either drag you down or they lift you

 

    REPEAT CHORUS (then) BRIDGE 

Dm                         Bb      F                           Bb

I don't read between the lines  I'm not ready for what I'll find 

Dm                           Bb    

I don't believe that love is blind  

G                          G                                 C

It just can't see straight, it just can't see straight  oh yeah

C                    C                   D

Read all about it, read all about it    yeah

    F               Bb         C                    F

                                     a brand new book (twice)

 

I read that book for an hour or two  And then I looked up at the night sky 

I saw the Big Dipper and then the Big Bopper And I realised how much time had gone by 

Every page had something to say But one thing that struck me as true 

The clock just keeps ticking as if you're not there 

Man it either drags you down or it lifts you   CHORUS
