G

[Verse 1]
    G                     
You spend an awful lot of 
        Am
time in Massachusetts
           D7                   
Seems like every other week and 
          C               G
there's a meeting waiting there
Bm                          
Business must be booming or 
      C
could something else
Am                        D7
  Be moving in the air up there

[Verse 2]
    G                       
You say that it's important 
        Am
for our future
      D7                   
An executive on her way up 
    C               G
has got to play the part
    Bm                   
And each time duty calls 
          C
you've got to give it all
Am                        D7
  You've got with all your  heart

[Chorus]
           G             C         
So when whoever's in New England's 
             B7
through with you
    Em                  
And Boston finds better 
      C        C#m
things to do
              G
You know it's not too late
              B7            
'Cause you'll always have a 
                  Em      A7
place to come back  to
        Am            D         
When whoever's in New England's 
       C           G
through with you

[Verse 3]
  G                       
I hear the winter time up 
                  Am
north can last forever
D7                            
I've been told it's beautiful 
   C                G
to see this time of year
     Bm                         
They say the snow can blind you 
         C
till the world you left behind
Am                  D7
  Just disappears I hear

[Verse 4]
G                      
I packed your bags and 
                 Am
left them in the hallway
      D7                           
But before you leave again there's 
          C                 G
something I think you outta know
         Bm                      
When the icy winds blows through 
      C
you remember that it's me
Am                       D7
  Who feels the cold most  of all

[Chorus]
           G             C         
So when whoever's in New England's 
             B7
through with you
    Em                  
And Boston finds better 
      C        C#m
things to do
              G
You know it's not too late
              B7          
'Cause you'll always have 
                     Em      A7
a place to come back to
        Am            D         
When whoever's in New England's 
             C    G
through with you

How to play Whoevers In New England: key, chords and progression

These are the chords for Whoevers In New England by Cody Johnson on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard

Whoevers In New England by Cody Johnson sits in G major (one sharp: F♯), and you need 11 chords to play it: C, G, F, Am, D7, Bm, B7, Em, C#m, A7 and D.

Most of the song cycles through G – Am – D7 – C (I – ii – V7 – IV in G major). In solfa, that is doh – reh – soh – fah. Get these 4 changes smooth and the rest comes quickly.

Good to know: on guitar, F, Bm and C#m need a barre or movable shape. Take the change into them slowly at first; piano and ukulele players have it easier.
