England

	  		
  
C                               F         C 
What is it about you, makes me feel this way? 
C                     Am 
When I'm leaving you, when I'm coming home 
    F                G 
I'm lost for words to say. 
       C 
And I know your faults and failures, 
          F                         C 
And the troubles that you've been through. 
          Bb             Dm 
But it's more about what happens now 
    Dm7             G 
And what were coming to. 


          C            F 
And the echo from the green hills 
         C                F 
Runs through her city streets, 
         Dm                F 
And the sun that shines on England 
         G                C 
Well it lifts the heart in me. 
C   F       C   F      C F Am Dm G 
England, oh England 
C   F       C   F    Dm F G C 
England, oh England 


C                          F            C 
What is it about you, that took men into war? 
C                       Am 
Rows and rows of crosses: Who remembers why what for?  
F                       G 
The corners of these foreign fields, 
C 
The dust in them concealed. 
F                          C 
Out of sight but not out of mind, 
Dm7                     G 
Don't you know that England feels? 

C                   F 
And the echo from the green hills 
         C                F 
Runs through her city streets, 
Dm              F 
The rain that falls on England 
G               C 
Well it washes care from me. 

C   F       C   F      C F Am Dm G 
England, oh England 
C   F       C   F    Dm F G C 
England, oh England 

C                       F               C 
Don't make this out a battle hymn or a song of victory. 
C                       Am 
It's just a way to try to say what England means to me. 
F                       G 
And our accents and our colours change 
C 
From the city to the farmland 
F                       C 
From the moor-land to the mountain, 
Dm              G 
From the river to the sea. 


C               F 
And the echo from the green hills 
         C                F 
Runs through her city streets, 
Dm              F 
The rain that falls on England 
G               C 
Well it washes care from me. 

C   F       C   F      C F Am Dm G 
England, oh England 
C   F       C   F    Dm F G C 
England, oh England 


C               F               C 
From the rolling road to the winding lane, 
C               Am 
From the field to factory, 
F               G 
From summer's haze to winter's glaze, 
C 
And all the colours in between. 
F               C 
It's a stillness in the evening. 
Bb              Dm 
It's the heartbeat that I'm feeling. 
Dm7             G 
From Cornwall to Northumberland, 
F               C 
From the Pennines to the sea. 


C               F 
And the echo from the green hills 
         C                F 
Runs through her city streets, 
Dm              F 
The rain that falls on England 
G               C 
Well it washes care from me. 

C   F       C   F      C F Am Dm G 
England, oh England 
C   F       C   F    Dm F G C 
England, oh England
