---------------------------------------------------------------------------1:

C                                |D
MERRY ENGLAND LIVES JUST SOUTH OF NOTTINGHILL,

  |F                                    |C          |
IN DAILY DREAMS OF SHAKESPEARE LIKE SOME PISCES WILL.

./.                               |D
THOUGH SHE'S NEVER BEEN BEYOND THE LADBROKE GATE,

   |F                               |C
THE WORLD HAS SPUN AROUND THERE MANY TIMES OF LATE.

======================================================================CHORUS:

   |Am                |C
CAN CAROLINE REMEMBER, HE THAT DID BEFRIEND HER,

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

  |Am                      |C
SO SUBTLE WERE HER CHANGES, NO ONE EVEN NOTICED,

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

          |F                 G7             |C     |./.    |
THAT'S THE PRICE YOU HAVE TO PAY  TO GROW SO OLD.

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

    |F                             |C           |
LIKE MOSS ALONG THE FENCES DOWN OL' MEMORY LANE.

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

    |F                       |C           |
SOME MAIDEN IN A CASTLE UP ON NOTTING-HILL.
