Goodbye England's rose
E7            A
May you ever grow in our hearts
A                       E/Ab
You were the grace that placed itself
                         A
Where lives were torn apart
                       E
You called out to our country
                   A
And you whispered to those in pain
                    E/Ab
Now you belong to heaven
                              A
And the stars spell out your name

And it seems to me you 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
Along England's greenest hills
                         B        Bsus4 B
Your candles burned out long before
     A             E
Your legend ever will

Loveliness we've lost
     E7              A
These empty days without your smile
                        E/Ab
This torch we'll always carry
                         A
For our nation's golden child
               E
Even though we try
     A
The truth brings us to tears
               E/Ab
All our words cannot express
                                      A
The joy you've brought us through the years

[CHORUS]
       B
And it seems to me you 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
Along England's greenest hills
                         B        Bsus4 B
Your candles burned out long before
     A             E
Your legend ever will

Goodbye England's rose

From the country lost
A                                                E/Ab
Without your soul who missed the wings of your compassion
                         A
More than you will ever know
