G Goodbye England’s rose, may you ever C grow in our hearts.
You were the grace that G placed itself where lives were torn C apart.
You called out to our G country, and you whispered to C those in pain.
Now you belong to G heaven, and the stars spell out your C name.
R: And it D seems to me you lived your life like a G candle in the C wind.
Never G fading with the sunset when the D rain set in.
And your C footsteps will always fall here along Emi England’s greenest
hills.
G Your candle burned out D long before, your C legend ever will.
Loveliness we’ve lost, these empty days without your smile
This torch we’ll always carry for our nation’s golden child.
And even though we try, the truth brings us to tears.
All our words cannot express the joy you brought us through the years.
Ref.
Goodbye England’s rose, may you ever grow in our hearts
You were the grace that placed itself where lives were torn apart.
Goodbye England’s rose, from a country lost without your soul
Who’ll miss the wings of your compassion more than you will ever know.
And it D seems to me you lived your life like a G candle in the C wind.
Never G fading with the sunset when the D rain set in.
And your C footsteps will always fall here along Emi England’s greenest
hills.
G Your candle burned out D long before, your C legend ever will.
C And your footsteps will always Emi fall here along England’s
greenest hills.
G Your candle burned out D long before, your C legend ever will.
