Englands Rose

Goodbye England’s rose C
May you ever grow in our hearts F
You were the grace that placed itself C
Where lives were torn apart F
You called out to our country C
And you whispered to those in pain F
Now you belong to heaven C
And the stars spell out your name F

 

Refr: And it seems to me you lived your life G G7
Like a candle in the wind C F
Never fading with the sunset C 
When the rain set in G
And your footsteps will always fall here F 
Along England’s greenest hills am
Your candle’s burned out long Before C G
Your legend ever will F

 

Loveliness we’ve lost C
These empty days without your smile F
This torch we’ll always carry C
For our nation’s golden Child F
And even though we try C
The truth brings us to tears F
All our words cannot express C 
The joy you brought us through the years F

 

Refr: And it seems to me…

 

Goodbye England’s rose C
May you ever grow in our hearts F
You were the grace that placed itself C 
Where lives were torn apart F
Goodbye England’s rose C
From a country lost without your soul F
Who’ll miss the wings of your compassion C
More than you’ll ever know F 

 

Refr: And it seems to me…
