Subject: chords:New Kid On the Block by Barenaked Ladies

This is a funny and fun song by what is becoming my favorite band the 
more I listen to them. The basic structure of the song is verses 
alternating between Em and C major, and the chorus following a G-Am-F 
progression. I'm probably way off on some of the lyrics, but hopefully 
you get the idea.


Em       C
I didn't ask to be famous
Em          C
But I'm not sore
Em      C                  Em              C
You can see my face in the window of every store
Em      C
You can buy my lunch box
Em      C
You can wear my clothes
Em      C                  Em                  C
You can see my name its as plain as the face under your nose

      G   Am         F
I'm a new kid on the block
G                   Am             F
Well I may not be Johann Sebastian Bach
       G       Am                 F
And we may not write the songs we sing
            G                 Am                       F
But look at Elvis he sold his soul and you crowned him king


Listen to the song to see how these progressions fit into the structure, 
but that's essentially it.

Have fun.
