                             A
she said I think I'll go to Boston
                     E
I think I'll start a new life,
                      D                           E
I think I'll start it over, where no one knows my name,

I'll get out of California, I'm tired of the weather,
                   D                       E
I think I'll get a lover and fly em out to Spain
                    A
I think I'll go to Boston,
                      E
I think that I'm just tired
                  D                            E
I think I need a new town, to leave this all behind
                   A                       E
I think I need a sunrise, I'm tired of the sunset,
                         D                         E
I hear it's nice in the Summer, some snow would be nice

great tab, you could add the base note into the intro/verse by just plucking the open A string as well on the first beat of the first and third bar if you wanted, and just letting it ring. Pretty easy addition and makes it sound a bit more like the piano :)
