Intro
5-6 6 4 5 -4 4 4-4 5 4 b-3 b-2 -2 b-2 4 4
b-3 b-2 -2 b-2
VERSE 1.
5 5 5 -4-4 4 5 6 -6 6 6
What is it about you makes me feel this way?
5 -5 6 5 -4 4 -4 5-4 4 4
When I`m leaving you when I`m coming home I`m
b-3 4 4 4 b-3 3
lost for words to say
3 3 5 5 5 -4 -4 4 5 -6 -6
And I know your faults and failures and troubles
-6 -6 -6 6
that you`ve been through
6 6 b-7 b-7b-7 b-7 -6-6 6-5 5 -4
But it`s more about what happens now and what
-4 -4 4 -4
we`re coming to
6 6 6 8 -8 7 -8 7 -6 6
And the echo from the green hills runs through
6 6 5 4
her city streets
4 4 -5 -5 6 6 -6 -4 5 5 5
And the sun that shines on ENGLAND well it lifts
-4 -4 4 4
the heart in me
CHORUS
6 4 -6 6 4 6 4 -6 6 4
ENGLAND oh ENGLAND ENGLAND oh ENGLAND
2.
5 5 5 -4-4 4 5 6 -6 -6-6 6
What is it about you that took men into war?
5 -5 6 -5 5 4 5 -4 4 -3 b-3 3
Rows and rows of crosses who remembers why what
3
for?
5 5 5 5 -4 5 4 6 -6 -6
The corners of these foreign fields, the dust in
-6 6 6 b-7 b-7 b-7 -6 b-7 -6 6 -5
them concealed, Out of sight but not out of mind
5 5 -4 -4 -4 4 -4
don`t you know that ENGLAND feels?
6 6 6 8 -8 7 -8 7 -6 6
And the echo from the green hills runs through
6 6 5 4 4 4 -5 -5 6 4 4
the city streets, the rain that falls on ENGLAND
4 5 5 -4 -4 4 4
well it washes care from me
CHORUS
VERSE 3. Same as 1.
Don`t make this out a battle hymn or song for victory
It`s just a way to try to say
What ENGLAND means to me
And our accents and our colours change
From the city to the farmland
From the moorland to the mountain
From the river to the sea
And echo from the green hills
Runs through her city streets
And the wind that blows through ENGLAND
Breathes its life in you and me
ENGLAND oh ENGLAND Oh ENGLAND oh ENGLAND
VERSE 4. Same as 2.
From the rolling road to the winding lane, from
the field to factory
From summer`s haze to winter`s glaze
And all the colours inbetween
It`s a stillness in the evening
It`s the heartbeat that I`m feeling
From Cornwall to Northumberland, from the
Pennines to the sea
And the echo from the green hills
Runs through the city streets
And the wind that blows through ENGLAND
Breathes its life in you and me
ENGLAND oh ENGLAND Oh ENGLAND oh ENGLAND |
