[Intro] B B7 E B7 E B [Verse 1]
E                                    A
Goodbye England's Rose, may you ever grow in our hearts

                        E                   A          E     A
You were the grace that placed itself where lives were torn apart

                      E                          A
You called out to our country, and you whispered, to those in pain

                  E                                    A
Now you belong to heaven, and the stars spell out your name
[Chorus]
       B               B7                      E             A
And it seems to me you lived your life, like a candle in the wind

      E                  Esus4  E          B
Never fading with the sunset,     when the rain set in

         A                                     C#m
And your footsteps will always fall here along England's greenest hills

                         B                A                    G#m   F#m    E
Your candle's burned out long before your legend ever will
[Verse 2]
E                                           A
Loveliness we've lost, these empty days without your smile

                        E              A        E      A
This torch we'll always carry, for our nation's golden child

                   E        A
And even though we try, the truth brings us to tears

                 E                                              A
All our words cannot express the joy you brought us through the years
[Chorus]
       B               B7                      E             A
And it seems to me you lived your life, like a candle in the wind

      E                  Esus4  E          B
Never fading with the sunset,     when the rain set in

         A                                     C#m
And your footsteps will always fall here along England's greenest hills

                          B                A                    G#m   F#m    E
Your candle's burned out long before your legend ever will
[Verse 3]
E                                    A
Goodbye England's Rose, may you ever grow in our hearts

                        E                    A     E          A
You were the grace that placed itself, where lives were torn apart

E                                               A
Goodbye England's Rose, from a country lost without your soul

                                 E                  A      E    A
Who'll miss the wings of your compassion, more than you'll ever know
[Chorus]
       B               B7                      E             A
And it seems to me you lived your life, like a candle in the wind

      E                  Esus4  E          B
Never fading with the sunset,     when the rain set in

And your footsteps will always fall here along England's greenest hills

                          B                A                    G#m   F#m    E
Your candle's burned out long before your legend ever will
[Outro]
         A                                     C#m
And your footsteps will always fall here along England's greenest hills

                         B                A                    G#m   F#m    E
Your candle's burned out long before your legend ever will
