Chords with lyrics

♫ Intro:

BB

♫ Verse 1:
    BB         C majorC
It is opening day and a brand new start
   G minorGm                 C majorC
The stores are bein' cleared around the fishermen's huts
     BB              C majorC           BB  C majorC
And the air bites the leaves, almost invisible cuts on the skin
  BB            C majorC
A augmentedA lighthouse retired, but a new one was hired
    BB               C majorC
About twenty foot taller, painted in black and white
     BB            C majorC           BB  C majorC
Twenty million steps with a computer inside instead of him

♫ Chorus:
   BB  BB  C majorC      BB   C majorC  G minorGm
Only one road sign telling cars to slow down
    BB    C majorC      BB
And a long drop in the ocean
    BB    BB C majorC       BB     C majorC   G minorGm
Beware of the riptide, broken glass and train rides
    BB      C majorC       BB
It's a new day and this is England

♫ Verse 2:
       BB                 C majorC
Next to the park with the flag that's workin' flexible hours
          BB                C majorC
'Cause there's a mismatch of carriages sorted in a boat of sunflowers
    BB                  C majorC         BB C majorC
Fairy lights on a building that's supplyin' us power from the sea
   BB              C majorC
Electricity lines flow like veins to the town
    BB                  C majorC
In-between, there is nothing but grass and pebbles on the ground
    BB             C majorC             BB  C majorC
Do not enter the wild here if you want to be found for the free

♫ Chorus:
     BB   BB  C majorC     BB    C majorC  G minorGm
View the famous sunrise cut in half by the sky
     BB   C majorC      BB
And the empty of the desert
     BB      BB  C majorC      BB   C majorC  G minorGm
Team of birds that swerve by and the land of the wise
    BB      C majorC       BB
It's a new day and this is England

♫ Bridge:
      C minorCm           BB
When it's time to escape from the heavy abyss
     BB           C majorC
There is nothin' like washin' away
       C minorCm            BB
I find this country of mine get some bad reputation
   BB       C majorC
Of being cold and grey
      C minorCm             BB
But on the coast of this south to the east followed ground
     BB         C majorC
I find serenity I've never felt
      C minorCm             BB
There's a peace, enough quiet in the silent bars
        BB          C majorC
That can't be mirrored by anywhere else

♫ Verse 3:
      BB               C majorC
Homes protruding from stones with their wood coloured black
      BB              C majorC
Scattered cars in a line, steam risin' out the shaft
   BB                C majorC             BB C majorC
One door at the front and then just glass at the back for the view

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

♫ Outro:
BB
