NEW LIFE by Blind Melon
Written by Glen Graham, Brad Smith, Shannon Hoon, Christopher Thorn, and Rogers Stevens
Chords transcribed by Brad Golden
Note: these are what chords happen when they do in the song, and only works for solo acoustic performance.
BM never performed this acoustically as far as I know and may have never played this song live at all since
Thorn has stated in an interview there are a couple of songs from Soup that have never been performed live.
[Verse 1]
N.C.One!.... Two!...
ASuddenly everyGthing is fainting
AFalling from a broken ladder's Grung
There's a jAolt exhilarating from the Gphone I'm holding
I hear the wAords of what I'll beCcome
A How eager the Chands that reach for love
[Pre-Chorus 1]
D 'Cause now Fthere's a new life to beAhold
And it's the Dbiggest part of my Flife to unAfolCd
[Chorus 1]
Aw GyeahA! F G A F
'Cause Dnow she's telling Fme she'll have my GbaAby F G A
FAnd a Dfaithful father FI am to Gbe A F G
AWhen FI'm Dlooking into the Feyes of our own GbaAby F G
AWill it Fbring Gnew life into Eme?
[Verse 2]
A Deep inside must deGfy arrangement
I've been a Astumblin' from the startin' blocks 'til Gnow
And I'll Aalways try to justify the Gway I have been behaving
Should I Ateach one not to know Chow?
A How to live in a Cworld we live in now
[Pre-Chorus 2]
D 'Cause there's a Fbeautiful life to beAhold
And it's the Dbiggest part of my Flife to unAfolCd
[Chorus 2]
Aw GyeahA! F G A F
'Cause Dnow she's telling Fme she'll have my GbaAby F G A
FAnd a Dfather figure FI am to Gbe A F G
AWhen FI'm Dlooking into the Feyes of our own GbaAby F G
AWill it Fbring Dnew life into Fme?
[Verse 3] (double-time)
Oh, Aplease! Oh,D please! F Oh, Aplease!
