G C Goodbye England's rose, may you ever grow in our hearts C G C You were the grace that placed itself where lives were torn apart G C You called out to our country, and you whispered to those in pain. G C Now you belong to heaven, and the stars spell out your name. Chorus: D D7 And it seems to me you lived your life G C Like a candle in the wind G D Never fading with the sunset when the rain set in C Em And your footsteps will always fall here along England's greenest hills G D C Your candles burned out long before your legend ever will. Verse no. 2: G C Loveliness we've lost, these empty days without your smile G C This torch we'll always carry for our nation's golden child G C And even though we try, the truth brings us to tears G C All our words cannot express the joy you brought us through the years. Chorus: D D7 And it seems to me you lived your life G C Like a candle in the wind G D Never fading with the sunset when the rain set in C Em And your footsteps will always fall here along England's greenest hills G D C G Your candles burned out long before your legend ever will. Verse no. 3: G C Goodbye England's rose, may you ever grow in our hearts G C You were the grace that placed itself where lives were torn apart G C Goodbye England's rose, from a country lost without your soul G C Who'll miss the wings of your compassion more than you'll ever know. Chorus: D D7 And it seems to me you lived your life G C Like a candle in the wind G D Never fading with the sunset when the rain set in C Em And your footsteps will always fall here along England's greenest hills G D C G Your candles burned out long before your legend ever will. Repeat last part of Chorus... C Em And your footsteps will always fall here among England's greenest hills G D C G Your candles burned out long before your legend ever will.
