CFC
What is it about you, makes me feel this way?
CAm
When I'm leaving you, when I'm coming home
FG
I'm lost for words to say.
C
And I know your faults and failures,
FC
And the troubles that you've been through.
A#Dm
But it's more about what happens now
Dm7G
And what were coming to.
CF
And the echo from the green hills
CF
Runs through her city streets,
DmF
And the sun that shines on England
GC
Well it lifts the heart in me.
CFCFCFAmDmG
England, oh England
CFCFDmFGC
England, oh England
CFC
What is it about you, that took men into war?
CAm
Rows and rows of crosses: Who remembers why what for?
FG
The corners of these foreign fields,
C
The dust in them concealed.
FC
Out of sight but not out of mind,
Dm7G
Don't you know that England feels?
CF
And the echo from the green hills
CF
Runs through her city streets,
DmF
The rain that falls on England
GC
Well it washes care from me.
CFCFCFAmDmG
England, oh England
CFCFDmFGC
England, oh England
CFC
Don't make this out a battle hymn or a song of victory.
CAm
It's just a way to try to say what England means to me.
FG
And our accents and our colours change
C
From the city to the farmland
FC
From the moor-land to the mountain,
DmG
From the river to the sea.
CF
And the echo from the green hills
CF
Runs through her city streets,
DmF
The rain that falls on England
GC
Well it washes care from me.
CFCFCFAmDmG
England, oh England
CFCFDmFGC
England, oh England
CFC
From the rolling road to the winding lane,
CAm
From the field to factory,
FG
From summer's haze to winter's glaze,
C
And all the colours in between.
FC
It's a stillness in the evening.
A#Dm
It's the heartbeat that I'm feeling.
Dm7G
From Cornwall to Northumberland,
FC
From the Pennines to the sea.
CF
And the echo from the green hills
CF
Runs through her city streets,
DmF
The rain that falls on England
GC
Well it washes care from me.
CFCFCFAmDmG
England, oh England
CFCFDmFGC
England, oh England
