♫ Intro:

D MajorD

♫ Verse 1:
   D MajorD         G+G   A augmentedA
It is opening day and a brand new start
  D MajorD                  G+G   A augmentedA
The stones have been cleared around the fisherman's hut
    D MajorD               G+G   A augmentedA        G+G   A augmentedA
And the air bites, then leaves almost invisible cuts on the skin
 D MajorD             G+G    A augmentedA
A majorA lighthouse retired, but a new one was hired
   D MajorD             G+G    A augmentedA
About twenty foot taller painted in black and white
    D MajorD          G+G  A augmentedA             G+G A augmentedA
Twenty million steps with a computer inside instead of him

♫ Chorus:
   G+G  D MajorD  A augmentedA       D MajorD    A augmentedA  B minorBm
Only one road sign, telling cars to slow down
   G+G     A augmentedA      D MajorD
And a long drop in the ocean
    G+G   D MajorD  A augmentedA      D MajorD     A augmentedA   B minorBm
Beware of the rip tide, broken glass and train lines
    G+G      A augmentedA        D MajorD
It's a new day, and this is England


♫ Verse 2:
      D MajorD                G+G A augmentedA
Next to the pub with the flag that's workin' flexible hours
     D MajorD                G+G    A augmentedA
There's a mismatch of carriages, soil in a boat for some flowers
   D MajorD              G+G     A augmentedA          G+G A augmentedA
Fairy lights on a building that's supplying us power from the sea
  D MajorD            G+G   A augmentedA
Electricity lines flow like veins to the town
   D MajorD                G+G  A augmentedA
In-between there is nothing but grass and pebbles on the ground
    D MajorD           G+G      A augmentedA           G+G A augmentedA
Do not enter the wild here if you want to be found for the free


♫ Chorus:
     G+G    D MajorD A augmentedA      D MajorD    A augmentedA  B minorBm
View the flame of sunrise cut in half by the sky
    G+G   A augmentedA      D MajorD
And the empty of the desert
    G+G     D MajorD   A augmentedA      D MajorD    A augmentedA  B minorBm
Team of birds that swerve by and then land on the wires
    G+G      A augmentedA        D MajorD
It's a new day, and this is England

♫ Bridge:
     E minorEm           G+G
When it's time to escape from the heavy of this
     D MajorD           A augmentedA
There is nothing like washing away
      E minorEm            G+G
I find this country of mine get some bad reputation
  D MajorD       A augmentedA
Of being cold and grey
      E minorEm            G+G
But on the coast of the south to the east followed round
     D MajorD         A augmentedA
I find serenity I've never felt
     E minorEm            G+G
There's a peace and a quiet in this island of ours
       D MajorD          A augmentedA
That can't be mirrored by anywhere else


♫ Verse 3:
     D MajorD               G+G  A augmentedA
Homes protruding from stones with their wood-coloured black
     D MajorD        G+G    G+G
Scattered cars in a line, steam risin' out the shack
  D MajorD             G+G  A augmentedA               G+G A augmentedA
One door at the front and then just glass at the back for the view


♫ Chorus:
    G+G    D MajorD A augmentedA          D MajorD     A augmentedA  B minorBm
And the blue is so bright, you'll need shades for your eyes
    G+G   A augmentedA      D MajorD
And the cable to pull over
    G+G    D MajorD  A augmentedA     D MajorD     A augmentedA B minorBm
Take a walk and feel like, everything will be fine
    G+G      A augmentedA       D MajorD
It's a new day, and this is England
