England Chords by Ed Sheeran

[Verse]
F7 F                       C7             
■  It is opening day and a brand new start
F                                       C              
The stones have been cleared around the fisherman's hut
        F                            C7                    Bb  
And the air bites then leaves almost invisible cuts on the skin
C F                          C                
■ A lighthouse retired but a new one was hired
F                                C                 
About twenty foot taller painted in black and white
F                           C                          Bb 
Twenty million steps with a computer inside instead of him


[Chorus]
C Bb       C        
■ Only one road sign
F               Dm       
Telling cars to slow down
      Bb        C      F    
And a long drop in the ocean
Bb            C       
Beware of the rip tide
F                Dm         
Broken glass and train lines
       Bb          C       F      
It's a new day and this is England


[Verse]
                                             C             
Next to the pub with the flag that's working flexible hours
          F                               C                    
There's a mismatch of carriages soil in a boat for some flowers
F                                 C                           Bb 
Fairy lights on a building that's supplying us power from the sea
C F                             C                
■ ■ Electricity lines flow like veins to the town
   F                                      C                    
In between there is nothing but grass and pebbles on the ground
   F                              C                        Bb  
Do not enter the wild here if you want to be found for the free


[Chorus]
C          Bb       C      
■ View the flame of sunrise
       F       Dm     
Cut in half by the sky
        Bb    C      F     
And the empty of the desert
        Bb         C        
Team of birds that swerve by
         F           Dm   
And then land on the wires
       Bb      C           F      
It's a new day and this is England


[Verse]
          Gm                      Bb           
When it's time to escape from the heavy of this
         F                    C   
There is nothing like washing away
            Gm                     Bb            
I find this country of mine gets a bad reputation
F                 C   
Of being cold and grey
           Gm                        Bb                  
But on the coast of the south to the east followed 'round
       F                   C   
I find serenity I've never felt
          Gm                        Bb            
There's a peace and a quiet in this island of ours
              F                    C   
That can't be mirrored by anywhere else
      Csus4                             C                 
Homes protruding from stones with their woodcoloured black
F                              C                   
Scattered cars in a line steam rising out the shack
F                                   C                         Bb  
One door at the front and then just glass at the back for the view


[Chorus]
C         Bb      C        
■ And the blue is so bright
         F          Dm       
You need shades for your eyes
      Bb    C7      F   
And a cable to pull over
       Bb       C        
Take a walk and feel like
F               Dm     
Everything will be fine
       Bb          C               F
It's a new day and this is England ■
