C majorC                FF     C majorC
What is it about you, makes me feel this way?
C majorC           A minorAm
When I'm leaving you, when I'm coming home
  FF        G+G
I'm lost for words to say.
    C majorC
And I know your faults and failures,
     FF             C majorC
And the troubles that you've been through.
     Bb majorBb       DmDm
But it's more about what happens now
  Dm7Dm7       G+G
And what were coming to.

     C majorC      FF
And the echo from the green hills
     C majorC        FF
Runs through her city streets,
     DmDm        FF
And the sun that shines on England
     G+G        C majorC
Well it lifts the heart in me.
C majorC  FF    C majorC  FF   C majorC FF A minorAm DmDm G+G
England, oh England
C majorC  FF    C majorC  FF  DmDm FF G+G C majorC
England, oh England


C majorC             FF      C majorC
What is it about you, that took men into war?
C majorC            A minorAm
Rows and rows of crosses: Who remembers why what for?
FF            G+G
The corners of these foreign fields,
C majorC
The dust in them concealed.
FF             C majorC
Out of sight but not out of mind,
Dm7Dm7           G+G
Don't you know that England feels?

C majorC          FF
And the echo from the green hills
     C majorC        FF
Runs through her city streets,
DmDm       FF
The rain that falls on England
G+G        C majorC
Well it washes care from me.

C majorC  FF    C majorC  FF   C majorC FF A minorAm DmDm G+G
England, oh England
C majorC  FF    C majorC  FF  DmDm FF G+G C majorC
England, oh England

C majorC            FF        C majorC
Don't make this out a battle hymn or a song of victory.
C majorC            A minorAm
It's just a way to try to say what England means to me.
FF            G+G
And our accents and our colours change
C majorC
From the city to the farmland
FF            C majorC
From the moor-land to the mountain,
DmDm       G+G
From the river to the sea.

C majorC        FF
And the echo from the green hills
     C majorC        FF
Runs through her city streets,
DmDm       FF
The rain that falls on England
G+G        C majorC
Well it washes care from me.

C majorC  FF    C majorC  FF   C majorC FF A minorAm DmDm G+G
England, oh England
C majorC  FF    C majorC  FF  DmDm FF G+G C majorC
England, oh England


C majorC        FF        C majorC
From the rolling road to the winding lane,
C majorC        A minorAm
From the field to factory,
FF        G+G
From summer's haze to winter's glaze,
C majorC
And all the colours in between.
FF        C majorC
It's a stillness in the evening.
Bb majorBb       DmDm
It's the heartbeat that I'm feeling.
Dm7Dm7       G+G
From Cornwall to Northumberland,
FF        C majorC
From the Pennines to the sea.


C majorC        FF
And the echo from the green hills
     C majorC        FF
Runs through her city streets,
DmDm       FF
The rain that falls on England
G+G        C majorC
Well it washes care from me.

C majorC  FF    C majorC  FF   C majorC FF A minorAm DmDm G+G
England, oh England
C majorC  FF    C majorC  FF  DmDm FF G+G C majorC
England, oh England
