Verse 1
          D  A 
Across the sea 
       D         A 
By the Tennessee skyline 
       D         A 
They told me I’d find my 
E            A 
Hopes and my dreams 
 
          D  A 
But I long to be 
       D         A 
In the bed of my true love 
       D         A 
Back where I came from 
E            A 
She’s waiting for me 
 
Chorus
     A    D  E 
So I make my way 
        E    F#m      D       A 
Through long winding country roads 
       A     E     F#m 
But my heart still beats 
       D           E       A 
For my home and my English rose 
 
Verse 2
          D  A 
I told my dad 
       D         A 
On the phone it’s amazing 
       D         A                    
From the straight to the crazy  
   E            A 
These places I’ve seen 
 
          D  A 
But I long to be 
       D         A 
In the arms of my true love 
       D         A 
Like he loves my mother 
   E            A 
He understands me 
 
Chorus
      A     D  E 
And I spend my days 
     E    F#m      D       A 
Just traveling and playing shows 
       A     E     F#m 
And my heart still beats 
       D           E       A 
For my home and my English rose

Verse 3
          D  A 
I met a man 
       D         A 
In the bar down in Manford 
       D         A              
And he told me he went there  
   E           A 
To follow his dreams 
 
          D  A 
He told me son 
       D         A 
You know I lost my true love 
       D         A 
For the same exact reason 
       E         A 
That you crossed the sea 
 
Chorus
    A     D  E 
And I found truth 
   E   F#m   D      A 
In people I barely know 
       A     E     F#m             D      E       A 
But my heart still beats for my home and my English rose 
      A     E     F#m             D      E       A 
Oh my heart still beats for my home and my English rose 
      A     E     F#m             D      E       A 
Oh my heart still beats for my home and my English rose.
