Laura Marling – Goodbye England Covered In Snow (Guitar)

            D
You were so smart then,

                   Bm
In your jacket and coat,

               A
My softest red scarf was,

             D
Warming your throat.

              D
Winter was on us,

                 Bm
At the end of my nose,

                 G       (A?)                      D
And I never love England more than when covered in snow.

       Bm                       A
Well a friend of mine says it's good to hear,

    G                       D
You believe in love even if set in fear,

                   Bm                A
Well I'll hold you there brother and set you straight,

     G              D                            A
I only believe true love is frail and willing to break.

            D
I will come back here,

                       Bm
Bring me back when I'm old,

          A
I want to lay here,

               D
Forever in the cold,

           D
I might be cold but,

                  Bm
I'm just skin and bone,

                 G       (A?)                      D
And I never love England more than when covered in snow.

D                             Bm
I wrote my name in your book, only God knows why,

      A
And I bet you that he cracked a smile,

        G                                D
And I'm clearing all the stuff out of my room,

D
Trying desperately to figure out,

A
What it is that makes me blue,

      G                        D
And I wrote an epic letter to you,

         A
And it's too good to be used,

      G                                  D
And I tried to be a girl who likes to be used,

        D
I'm too good for that,

          G
There's a mind under this hat and I,

Bm                                        D
Called them all and told them i've got to move.

D                Bm
I'm out of love, it's too hard,

Bm              Bm
I'm all alone, it's too hard,

D         Bm       D        Bm
Feel like running, feel like running,

A
Running off.

D           Bm        D       Bm       A
And we will keep you, we will keep you little one

G               A
Safe from harm, like an extra arm

                D
You are part of us.

            D
You were so smart then,

                   Bm
In your jacket and coat,

               A
My softest red scarf was,

             D
Warming your throat.

              D
Winter will leave us,

                    Bm
Left the end of my nose,

                 G       (A?)                      D
And I never love England more than when covered in snow.
