                  E   
Goodbye England's rose
E7      A                      
May you ever grow in our hearts
                        E            
You were the grace that placed itself
                 E7   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
              E7             A   
And the stars spell out your name


[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        E 
When the rain set in
B          A                              
■ And your footsteps will always fall here
Dbm                           
Along England's greenest hills
                         B          
Your candle's burned out long before
A                    
Your legend ever will

[Verse]
E                    
Loveliness we've lost
E7               A                 
These empty days without your smile
                        E    
This torch we'll always carry
                        A    
For our nation's golden child
                   E  
And even though we try
A                           
The truth brings us to tears
              E             
All our words cannot express
                                   A    
The joy you brought us through the years
       B                          B7  
And it seems to me you lived your life
       E             A   
Like a candle in the wind


[Chorus]
E                           
Never fading with the sunset
         B          
When the rain set in
         A                              
And your footsteps will always fall here
Dbm                           
Along England's greenest hills
                         B          
Your candle's burned out long before
A                    
Your legend ever will

        E             
Goodbye England's rose
             A                 
May you ever grow in our hearts
                   E

Goodbye England's rose
                    A                
From a country lost without your soul
                              E         
Who'll miss the wings of your compassion
                      A   
More than you'll ever know


[Chorus]
       B               B7             
And it seems to me you lived your life
       E             A   
Like a candle in the wind
E

Your legend ever will ■

Your footsteps will always fall here

Along England's greenest hills

Your candle's burned out long before
