Man _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ [F] looks up on a yellow [C] sky
And _ [F] _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ [F#] _ [F] the rain turns to rust in [C] his eye
_ _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ [F#] Rumors [F] of his health [Am] [C] are lies
_ _ [F] _
Old [D] England [G] is dying
_ _ [F] _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ [G] _ His clothes are [F] dirty, shade [Am] of [C] blue
And _ [F] _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ [F#] [F] his ancient shoes [Am] are [C] worn through
_ _ [F] _
_ [D] _ _ [G] _ Steals [F] from me, and he [C] lies to [F] you _
Old England [G] is dying
_ [F] _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ Still [F] he sings the Empire [C] song
[G] _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ Still [F] he keeps his navy [C] strong
_ _ _ [F] _ _
_ _ [G] _ And he sticks his [F] flag where the hill [C] belongs
_ _ [F] _
Old England [G] is dying
_ _ [F] _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ [F] You're asking what makes me [Em] sigh now
_ _ _ [Dm] _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ And [F] what it is makes me shudder so
[C] _ Well, _ [Dm] _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ I [F] just freeze in the wind
And [E] I'm numb from the humbling of the [Dm] snow
That _ [G] _ _ falls from [F] the heights in English [C] skies
_ _ _ [Dm] _ _
_ _ [G] _ Where the time [F]-sneaking flag of England [Em] flies
_ _ _ [Dm] _ _
_ _ [G] _ Where the homes are [F] warped in mother's [Em] sigh
_ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ [G] Where comedians [F] laugh and babies [Em] cry
_ _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ [G] _ Where the trains run [F] on time and the crow [Em] flies
_ _ _ [Dm] _ _
_ _ [G] _ Where tinnitus [F] fumbles and petrol [Em] lies
_ _ _ [Dm] _ _
_ [G] Where criminals are [F] televised, politicians front of [C] lies
Journalists are digging the [Dm] mine, everyone is [G] civilized
And still we're upstairs [F] with arrowhead eyes
[Em] Arrowhead eyes, [Dm] arrowhead eyes
[G] Old England, _ _ [F] _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [Dm] _
Old England [G] is dying

_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
The [G] evening has fallen, the [F]
swans are singing
[C] The last [Em] of [F] Sunday's bells is ringing
[G] _ The wind [F#] in the [F] trees is done
[C] Tear it [F] down, _ throw off the [G] new one
_ _ [F] _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
