England

[Intro] D

[Primera Parte]

      D                 G     A
It is opening day and a brand new start
    D                                   G     A
The stones have been cleared around the fisherman's hut
        D                             G     A               G     A
And the air bites, then leaves almost invisible cuts on the skin
  D                         G       A
A lighthouse retired, but a new one was hired
      D                          G        A
About twenty foot taller painted in black and white
       D                    G    A                         G A
Twenty million steps with a computer inside instead of him

[Estribillo]

     G   D    A             D       A    Bm
Only one road sign, telling cars to slow down
      G         A            D
And a long drop in the ocean
       G      D   A            D         A     Bm
Beware of the rip tide, broken glass and train lines
       G            A               D
It's a new day, and this is England

[Segunda Parte]

            D                                G  A
Next to the pub with the flag that's workin' flexible hours
          D                                G        A
There's a mismatch of carriages, soil in a boat for some flowers
      D                           G         A                    G A
Fairy lights on a building that's supplying us power from the sea
    D                       G     A
Electricity lines flow like veins to the town
     D                               G    A
In-between there is nothing but grass and pebbles on the ground
       D                      G           A                     G A
Do not enter the wild here if you want to be found for the free

[Estribillo]

         G        D  A           D       A   Bm
View the flame of sunrise cut in half by the sky
        G     A            D
And the empty of the desert
        G          D      A           D       A    Bm
Team of birds that swerve by and then land on the wires
       G            A               D
It's a new day, and this is England

[Puente]

          Em                      G
When it's time to escape from the heavy of this
         D                     A
There is nothing like washing away
            Em                       G
I find this country of mine get some bad reputation
   D              A
Of being cold and grey
           Em                        G
But on the coast of the south to the east followed round
         D                 A
I find serenity I've never felt
          Em                        G
There's a peace and a quiet in this island of ours
              D                    A
That can't be mirrored by anywhere else

[Tercera Parte]

         D                              G    A
Homes protruding from stones with their wood-coloured black
          D               G       G
Scattered cars in a line, steam risin' out the shack
    D                          G    A                              G A
One door at the front and then just glass at the back for the view

[Estribillo]

        G       D  A                   D          A    Bm
And the blue is so bright, you'll need shades for your eyes
        G     A            D
And the cable to pull over
       G        D    A          D          A  Bm
Take a walk and feel like, everything will be fine
       G           A              D
It's a new day, and this is England
