^GGoodbye England^C's rose, may you ever grow in our hearts ^CYou were the grace that ^Gplaced itself where lives were torn apart^C You called^G out to our country, and y^Cou whispered to those in pain. Now you belong to hea^Gven, and the stars spell out your name^C.

[Chorus]

^DAnd it seems^D7 to me you lived your life Like a c^Gandle in the wind^C Never ^Gfading with the^D sunset when the rain set in And^C your footsteps ^Emwill always fall here along England's greenest hills ^GYour candles burned out ^Dlong before ^Cyour legend ever will.

[Verse 2]

^GLoveliness ^Cwe've lost, these empty days without your smile This torch we'll always ^Gcarry for our natio^Cn's golden child And even though we ^Gtry, the truth brings us to ^Ctears All our words ^Gcannot express the joy you brought us through the ^Cyears.

[Chorus]

^DAnd it seems^D7 to me you lived your life Lik^Ge a candle in th^Ce wind Never ^Gfading with the^D sunset when the rain set in And^C your footsteps ^Emwill always fall here along England's greenest hills ^GYour candles burned out l^Dong before your l^Cegend ever will.^G

[Verse 3]

^GGoodbye England's ros^Ce, may you ever grow in our hearts You were the grace that ^Gplaced itself where lives were torn apart^C ^GGoodbye England'^Cs rose, from a country lost without your soul Who'll miss the wings of your ^Gcompassion more than you'll ever know^C.

[Chorus]

Repeat last part of Chorus...

And^C your footsteps ^Emwill always fall here among England's greenest hills ^GYour candles ^Dburned out long b^Cefore your legend ^Gever will.
