Guitar tuned open D6 DADF#BD
[D6] I’m going to a different place
[F#6] I don’t know if I’ll be a [E6] hit but I like their [D6] faces
[D6] I’m shifting direction
[F#6] Pulling up from a downward [E6] tailspin into the pit changing to artistic [D6] impressions
[D6] I’m joining a new team
[F#6] I don’t know if I’m a fit but we share the same [D6] dream
[D6] I’m changing positions
[F#6] I want to help do my [E6] bit without circuitary [D6] frustrations
Chorus
[A6] I want to sing a new song
One that I have [G6] enthusiasm with and maybe everyone sings [D6] along
[A6] I want to bring my best effort
Break away from [G6] the curmudgeons and help make this community [D6] strong
[D6] I want to get lost in the day
[F#6] Where I’m engaged and [E6] immersed in the flow of a [D6] new wave
[D6] I want to help show the way
[F#6] Leave behind the enraged and [E6] the loads of having [D6] it made
Repeat chorus
[D6] I’m joining a new team
[F#6] I’ll do my best to be of help and [E6] turn the world a little [D6] more green
Repeat chorus

DADGAD capo 2
[E4add13(A)] [Emaj7add13(B/A)] [E4add13(A)]
[E4add13(A)] Letting me go
[Emaj7add13(B/A)] I can’t believe they’re [E4add13(A)] letting me go
[E4(C/A)} I did everything I was asked to and [Emaj7add13(B/A)] a little bit more you know
[E4add13(A)] Maybe release is an [E4(open)] opportunity to grow
[E4add13(A)] Turning me in
[Emaj7add13(B/A)] I can’t believe that they’re [E4add13(A)] turning me in
[E4(C/A)} I followed all the rules and [Emaj7add13(B/A)] proudly displayed my VIN
[E4add13(A)] Feeling a great loss [E4(open)] not a win
[E4maj7(C#2)] Somehow I failed
[E4(open)] To deliver or be the giver that the job description entailed
[E4maj7(C#2)] Somehow I was below expectations
[E4(open)] When at every turn I found roadblocks while mister know it all boxed me out with endless vexations
[E4add13(A)] Letting me go
[Emaj7add13(B/A)] I can’t believe that they’re [E4add13(A)] letting me go
[E4(C/A)} When I wanted to succeed and please more than [Emaj7add13(B/A)] they will ever know
[E4add13(A)] I can’t believe that they’re [E4(open)] letting me go

Because November

Repeat progression [B7] [E7] [C7] [A7]
They freewrite all about me so people will remember
Because November because November
My hopes, dreams, and adventures
Because November because November
Gaining ground never surrender
Because November because November
Still learning still a pretender
Because November because November
Going to fests and shows to recruit new friends and members
Another group to join as a member
Because November because November
Avant garde to ballads so tender
Because November because November
Keep pushing till the page turns December
Because November because November
