Goodbye England's Rose 
            A 
May you ever grow in our hearts 
                        E/G# 
You were the grace that placed yourself 
                        A 
Where lives were torn apart 
                        E 
You called out to our country 
                  A 
And you whispered to those in pain 
                    E 
Now you belong to heaven 
                            A 
And the stars spell out your name 

    B 
And it seems to me you've lived your life 
        E             A 
Like a candle in the wind 
        E 
Never fading with the sunset 
        B 
When the rain set in 
        A 
And your footsteps will always fall here 
        C#m                   stop 
Along England's greenest hills 
                        B 
Your candle's burned out long before 
    A                  A  G#m  F#m  E  B 
Your legend ever will 

  E 
Loveliness we've lost 
                A     
Those empty days, without your smile 
                       E/G# 
This torch will always carry 
                          A    
for our nation's golden child 
                E 
Even though we try 
      A 
The truth brings out the tears 
                     E 
All our words can not express 
                                A 
The joy you brought us through the years 

  E 
Goodbye England's rose 
                A 
May you ever, grow in our hearts 
                        E/G# 
You were the grace that placed yourself 
                        A 
Where lives were torn apart 
 E         
Goodbye England's rose 
                      A 
From the country lost, without your soul 
                             E 
We'll miss the wings of your compassion 
                        A 
More than you will ever know
