D                                |E
MERRY ENGLAND LIVES JUST SOUTH OF NOTTINGHILL,

  |G                                    |D          |
IN DAILY DREAMS OF SHAKESPEARE LIKE SOME PISCES WILL.

THOUGH SHE'S NEVER BEEN BEYOND THE LADBROKE GATE,

   |G                               |D
THE WORLD HAS SPUN AROUND THERE MANY TIMES OF LATE.

CAN CAROLINE REMEMBER, HE THAT DID BEFRIEND HER,

   |G                                |D   (2-count)  |A
AND SCARCELY TOUCHED THE BEAUTY, OF A SADNESS  ON HER SOUL.

SO SUBTLE WERE HER CHANGES, NO ONE EVEN NOTICED,

    |G                            |D  (2-count)  |A
THAT MANY YEARS OF CRYING  AND SHE BARELY  LET IT SHOW.

THAT'S THE PRICE YOU HAVE TO PAY  TO GROW SO OLD.

D                                     |E
ENGLAND'S TURNING GREEN FROM ALL THOSE YEARS OF RAIN,

    |G                             |D           |
LIKE MOSS ALONG THE FENCES DOWN OL' MEMORY LANE.

./.                       |E
POETRY IN MOTION WHILE SHE STANDS THERE STILL,

    |G                       |D           |
SOME MAIDEN IN A CASTLE UP ON NOTTING-HILL.

 |D                       |Bm              |G      A7    |D    |
I DREAM OF ENGLAND AND HER AUBURN HAIR, AND I MISS CARO - LINE.
