^EGoodbye England's rose May you ever ^Agrow in our hearts You were the grace that ^E/G#placed ^Eitself Where lives were torn ^Aapart You called out to our ^Ecountry And you whispered ^Ato those in pain Now you belong to ^E/G#heave^En And the stars spell out your ^Aname

And it ^Bseems to me you lived your ^B7life Like a ^Ecandle in the wind ^A Never ^Efading with the ^Esus4sunset When the ^Brain set in And your ^Afootsteps will always fall here Along ^C#m7England's greenest hills Your candle's burned out ^Blong before Your ^Alegend ever will ^E/G# ^F#m7

^ELoveliness we've lost These empty days ^Awithout your smile This torch we'll always ^E/G#carry^E For our nation's golden ^Achild And even though we ^Etry The truth ^Abrings us to tears All our words cannot ^E/G#expre^Ess The joy you brought us ^Athrough the years

And it ^Bseems to me you lived your ^B7life Like a ^Ecandle in the wind ^A Never ^Efading with the ^Esus4sunset When the ^Brain set in And your ^Afootsteps will always fall here Along ^C#m7England's greenest hills Your candle's burned out ^Blong before Your ^Alegend ever will ^E/G# ^F#m7

^EGoodbye England's rose May you ever ^Agrow in our hearts You were the grace that placed ^E/G#itsel^Ef Where lives were torn ^Aapart ^EGoodbye England's rose From a country lost w^Aithout your soul Who'll miss the wings of your ^E/G#compass^Eion More than you'll ^Aever know

And it ^Bseems to me you lived your ^B7life Like a ^Ecandle in the wind ^A Never ^Efading with the ^Esus4sunset When the ^Brain set in And your ^Afootsteps will always fall here Along ^C#m7England's greenest hills Your candle's burned out ^Blong before Your ^Alegend ever will ^E/G# ^F#m7
