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!...
A             G
Suddenly everything is fainting
A                              G
Falling from a broken ladder's rung
           A                         G
There's a jolt exhilarating from the phone I'm holding
            A                   C
I hear the words of what I'll become
A                C
   How eager the hands that reach for love
[Pre-Chorus 1]
D             F                       A
   'Cause now there's a new life to behold
             D                  F         A  C
And it's the biggest part of my life to unfold
[Chorus 1]
   G   A  F  G  A  F
Aw yeah!
       D                 F                 G A  F  G  A
'Cause now she's telling me she'll have my baby
F     D               F       G  A  F  G
And a faithful father I am to be
A    F    D                F               G A  F  G
When I'm  looking into the eyes of our own baby
A       F     G             E
Will it bring new life into me?
[Verse 2]
A                     G
   Deep inside must defy arrangement
            A                                       G
I've been a stumblin' from the startin' blocks 'til now
         A                         G
And I'll always try to justify the way I have been behaving
         A                     C
Should I teach one not to know how?
A                   C
   How to live in a world we live in now
[Pre-Chorus 2]
D                   F                   A
   'Cause there's a beautiful life to behold
             D                  F         A  C
And it's the biggest part of my life to unfold
[Chorus 2]
   G   A  F  G  A  F
Aw yeah!
       D                 F                 G A  F  G  A
'Cause now she's telling me she'll have my baby
F     D             F       G  A  F  G
And a father figure I am to be
A    F    D                F               G A  F  G
When I'm  looking into the eyes of our own baby
A       F     D             F
Will it bring new life into me?
[Verse 3] (double-time)
    A          D        F      A
Oh, please! Oh, please!    Oh, please!
                  D
Bring in new life, bring in new life
F                       A                       G
   Bring in new life to me, bring new life into me
                    E                       A  D  F
Bring new life into me, Bring new life into me
A  D  F  A  D  F  A  D  F
(no lyrics)
A  G  A  G  E
(no lyrics, back to half-time)
