Goodbye England's Rose

Goodbye England's Rose
            A
May you ever grow in our hearts
                        E/G#
You were the grace that placed yourself
                        A
Where lives were torn apart
                        E
You called out to our country
                  A
And you whispered to those in pain
                    E
Now you belong to heaven
                            A
And the stars spell out your name

    B
And it seems to me you've lived your life
        E             A
Like a candle in the wind
        E
Never fading with the sunset
        B
When the rain set in
        A
And your footsteps will always fall here
        C#m                   stop
Along England's greenest hills
                        B
Your candle's burned out long before
    A                  A  G#m  F#m  E  B
Your legend ever will

  E
Loveliness we've lost
                A
Those empty days, without your smile
                       E/G#
This torch will always carry
                          A
for our nation's golden child
                E
Even though we try
      A
The truth brings out the tears
                     E
All our words can not express
                                A
The joy you brought us through the years

  E
Goodbye England's rose
                A
May you ever, grow in our hearts
                        E/G#
You were the grace that placed yourself
                        A
Where lives were torn apart
 E
Goodbye England's rose
                      A
From the country lost, without your soul
                             E
We'll miss the wings of your compassion
                        A
More than you will ever know
