Chords for Ralph McTell - England

_ _ Thank you very much.
This is a song I wrote about England.
I wanted to write a
song that wasn't sort [F] of a marching song or a [C] flag-waving type of song but just a
song about how nice it is to live here and it's a kind of a love song really.
It's called England.
_ _ [Bm] _ _ [Am] _ _
[F] _ _ [G] _ _ _ [C] What is it about you makes [F] me [C] feel this way
when I'm [Am] leaving you when I'm coming home I'm lost for [G] words to say [C] and I
know your faults and failures [F] and the troubles that you've been [C] through but
[Bb] it's more about [Dm] what happens now [G] and what we're coming to [C] and the echo from
the [F] Greenhills [C] runs through our city streets and the Sun when it shines on
England [G] oh it lifts the heart [C] in me or make the sound of battle hymn [F] or a song
for [C] victory it's just a way [Am] to try to say what England [G] means to me [C] our accents
and our colors change [F] from the city to the [C] farmland from the [Bb] moorland [Dm] to the
mountain [G] from the river to the sea [C] and the echo from the [F] Greenhills [C] runs
through our city streets and the wind that blows through England [G] breathes his
life [C] in you and me _ _ England [F] Oh [C] _ England [F] _ _ _
_ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
[G] _ _ _ [C] England _ [F] Oh [C] England _ [F] _ _ from [C] _
_ [F] _ _ _ [G] _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ _ the rolling road
to the winding lane [F] from the field to the [C] factory _ from the summer's haze [Am] to
winter's glaze and all the colors in [G] between it's [C] a stillness in the evening
[F] it's the heartbeat that I am [C] feeling from Cornwall to [Dm] Northumberland from [G] the
to the sea and the [C] echo from the [C] Greenhills runs through our city [F] streets
[Dm] and the wind that blows [G] through England breathes his life in you [C] and me _ _ [F] England
_ [C] Oh England [F] _ _ [C] _
England [Am] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [F] _
Oh [C] England
