♫ Intro:

D

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


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


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


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


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


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


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