Goodbye England's rose

             A
May you ever grow in our hearts

                        E/G#   E
You were the grace that placed itself

                      A
Where lives were torn apart

                      E
You called out to our country

                  A
And you whispered to those in pain

                  E/G# E
Now you belong to heaven

                             A
And the stars spell out your name
[Chorus]
       B                          B7
And it seems to me you lived your life

       E                  A
Like a candle in the wind

      E               Esus4
Never fading with the sunset

         B
When the rain set in

         A
And your footsteps will always fall here

      C#m7
Along England's greenest hills

                         B
Your candle's burned out long before

     A                 E/G#  F#m7
Your legend ever will

E
Loveliness we've lost

                 A
These empty days without your smile

                        E/G# E
This torch we'll always carry

                        A
For our nation's golden child

                   E
And even though we try

          A
The truth brings us to tears

                     E/G# E
All our words cannot express

                       A
The joy you brought us through the years
[Chorus]
       B                          B7
And it seems to me you lived your life

       E                  A
Like a candle in the wind

      E               Esus4
Never fading with the sunset

         B
When the rain set in

         A
And your footsteps will always fall here

      C#m7
Along England's greenest hills

                         B
Your candle's burned out long before

     A                 E/G#  F#m7
Your legend ever will

Goodbye England's rose

From a country lost without your soul

More than you'll ever know
