Capo 2nd Fret

♫ Verse:
D                                  G              D
 Many miles I have wandered, on the paths of my homeland,
 G           D                 Em              A
by rivers, through woodland, and by the sea side
D                                  G              D
On streets I have seen those with greed and hate in their eyes,
G                 D               A           D
and those with their hearts and their hands open wide


 G D A D

♫ Verse:
 D                                  G              D
All my life has been blessed by its thunderstorm summer times,
  G               D        Em          A
by misty gold autumns, by fires in the snow
    D                          G       D
By Rainbows, by bluebells, by radiant spring times,
 G              D                    A           D
in the wild, windy meadows, where the dandelions blow

 G D A D

♫ Verse:
 D                                         G            D
 There are some who would change this fair home to a prison,
    G         D           Em         A
to enslave the many, and bow to the few
    D                          G           D
The robbers, the racists, the breakers of faces,
  G               D            A            D
who hide behind masks and the red white and blue

 G D A D

♫ Chorus:
D                                   G          D
So stand up, come on, England, live up to your history,
       G             D         Em         A
your heart can't be held in a flag or a crown !
           D                         G              D
Raise your tea cups and glasses, you bold lads and lasses,
      G             D             A          D
and drink to the spirit that will never lie down !



      D                         G           D
For I come from the land of the diggers and levellers,
     G           D           Em             A
the fighters for freedom and our National Health
    D                        G      D
The beaten, mistreated, but never defeated,
    G            D                A      D
the builders and guardians of the true Commonwealth

 G D A D

     D                        G            D
Only lovin' can save us, only givin' will raise us,
    G            D           Em       A
so welcome all travellers to sweet liberty
     D                        G          D
And raise all your voices to defend our democracy - - -
    G        D             A  D
for equality, justice, and community

           D                         G              D
Raise your tea cups and glasses, you bold lads and lasses,
      G             D             A          D
and drink to the spirit that will never lie down !
