Ralph McTell - England

^CWhat is it about you, makes me f^Feel this w^Cay' ^CWhen I'm leaving you, ^Amwhen I'm coming home I'm ^Flost for words to^G say. And I k^Cnow your faults and failures, And the tr^Foubles that you've been th^Crough. But it's m^Bbore about what ^Dmhappens now And ^Dm7what were coming^G to.

And the ec^Cho from the g^Freen hills Runs thro^Cugh her city stre^Fets, And the s^Dmun that shines on ^FEngland Well it l^Gifts the heart in^C me. ^CEngl^Fand, oh ^CEngl^Fand ^{C F Am Dm G C}Engl^Fand, oh ^CEngl^Fand ^{Dm F G C}

^CWhat is it about you, that ^Ftook men into^C war' ^CRows and rows of cro^Amsses: Who ^Fremembers why what ^Gfor' ^CThe corners of these foreign fields, ^FThe dust in them ^Cconcealed. ^BbOut of sight but not ^Dmout of mind, ^Dm7Don't you know that Engl^Gand feels'

^CAnd the echo from th^Fe green hills Runs thro^Cugh her city stre^Fets, ^DmThe rain that fa^Flls on England ^GWell it washes c^Care from me.

^CEngl^Fand, oh ^CEngl^Fand ^{C F Am Dm G C}Engl^Fand, oh ^CEngl^Fand ^{Dm F G C}

^CDon't make this out a ba^Fttle hymn or a s^Cong of victory. ^CIt's just a way to t^Amry to say what ^FEngland means to^G me. And our ^Caccents and our colours change From th^Fe city to the ^Cfarmland From the ^Bbmoor-land to the ^Dmmountain, ^Dm7From the river to th^Ge sea.

^CAnd the echo fro^Fm the green hills Runs thro^Cugh her city stre^Fets, ^DmThe rain that fa^Flls on England ^GWell it washes c^Care from me.

^CEngl^Fand, oh ^CEngl^Fand ^{C F Am Dm G C}Engl^Fand, oh ^CEngl^Fand ^{Dm F G C}

^CFrom the rolling^F road to the win^Cding lane, ^CFrom the field t^Amo factory, ^FFrom summer's ha^Gze to winter's glaze, ^CAnd all the colours in between. ^FIt's a stillness^C in the evening. ^BbIt's the heartbe^Dmat that I'm feeling. ^Dm7From Cornwall to^G Northumberland, ^FFrom the Pennine^Cs to the sea.

^CAnd the echo fro^Fm the green hills Runs thro^Cugh her city stre^Fets, ^DmThe rain that fa^Flls on England ^GWell it washes c^Care from me.

^CEngl^Fand, oh ^CEngl^Fand ^{C F Am Dm G C}Engl^Fand, oh ^CEngl^Fand ^{Dm F G C}
