(I didn't finish the ending)

See, I come from Boston.
I'm gonna tell you about how I love New England.
It's my favorite place.
I've been all around the world, but I love New England best.
I might be prejudiced.
But it's true, I love New England best.

Well, now... [E] [E]

You know, ladies and gentlemen, I've already been to Paris, I already been
to Rome
And what did I do but miss my home?

[E] I have been out [F#m] west to [A] Cali[B]forn'.[E][F#m][A][B]
But I [A] miss the land where [B] I was born.[E]
I can't help it.

[A] Oh, New [B] England.

I have [E] seen old [F#m] Israel's [A] arid [B] plain.[E][F#m][A][B]
[A] It's magnificent, [B] but so's Maine. [E]
