Verse 1
GGoodbye EnglandC's rose, may you ever grow in our hearts
CYou were the grace that Gplaced itself where lives were torn apartC
You calledG out to our country, and yCou whispered to those in pain.
Now you belong to heaGven, and the stars spell out your nameC.
Chorus
DAnd it seemsD7 to me you lived your life
Like a cGandle in the windC
Never Gfading with theD sunset when the rain set in
AndC your footsteps Emwill always fall here along England's greenest hills
GYour candles burned out Dlong before Cyour legend ever will.
Verse 2
GLoveliness Cwe've lost, these empty days without your smile
This torch we'll always Gcarry for our natioCn's golden child
And even though we Gtry, the truth brings us to Ctears
All our words Gcannot express the joy you brought us through the Cyears.
Chorus
DAnd it seemsD7 to me you lived your life
LikGe a candle in thCe wind
Never Gfading with theD sunset when the rain set in
AndC your footsteps Emwill always fall here along England's greenest hills
GYour candles burned out lDong before your lCegend ever will.G
Verse 3
GGoodbye England's rosCe, may you ever grow in our hearts
You were the grace that Gplaced itself where lives were torn apartC
GGoodbye England'Cs rose, from a country lost without your soul
Who'll miss the wings of your Gcompassion more than you'll ever knowC.
Chorus
DAnd it seemsD7 to me you lived your life
LikGe a candle in thCe wind
Never Gfading with theD sunset when the rain set in
AndC your footsteps Emwill always fall here along England's greenest hills
GYour candles burned out Dlong before your Clegend ever will.G
Repeat last part of Chorus...
AndC your footsteps Emwill always fall here among England's greenest hills
GYour candles Dburned out long bCefore your legend Gever will.
