[G]Goodbye England's rose, may you ever [C]grow in our hearts
[C]You were the grace that [G]placed itself where lives were torn apart[C]
You called out to our [G]country, and you whispered[C] to those in pain.
Now you belong to hea[G]ven, and the stars spell out your name[C].
Chorus:
[D]And it seems to me you lived your [D7]life
Like a c[G]andle in the wind[C]
Never [G]fading with the sunset when the [D]rain set in
And your [C]footsteps will always fall here along [Em]England's greenest hills
[G]Your candles burned out [D]long before your [C]legend ever will.
Verse no. 2:
[G]Loveliness we've lost, these empty days [C]without your smile
This torch we'll always [G]carry for our nation's golden child[C]
And even though we [G]try, the truth brings us to [C]tears
All our words [G]cannot express the joy you brought us through the [C]years.
Chorus:
[D]And it seems to me you lived your [D7]life
Like a ca[G]ndle in the wind[C]
Never [G]fading with the sunset when the [D]rain set in
And your [C]footsteps will always fall here along [Em]England's greenest hills
[G]Your candles burned out l[D]ong before your l[C]egend ever will.[G]
Verse no. 3:
[G]Goodbye England's rose, may you ever [C]grow in our hearts
You were the grace that [G]placed itself where lives were torn apart[C]
[G]Goodbye England's rose, from a country [C]lost without your soul
Who'll miss the wings of your [G]compassion more than you'll ever know[C].
Chorus:
[D]And it seems to me you lived your [D7]life
Like a ca[G]ndle in the wind[C]
Never [G]fading with the sunset when the [D]rain set in
And your [C]footsteps will always fall here along [Em]England's greenest hills
[G]Your candles burned out [D]long before your [C]legend ever will.[G]
Repeat last part of Chorus...
And your [C]footsteps will always fall here among [Em]England's greenest hills
[G]Your candles burned out [D]long before your [C]legend ever will.[G]
