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