C GGoodbye England's rose, may you ever grow in our hearts
G C GYou were the grace that placed itself where lives were torn apart
C GYou called out to our country, and you whispered to those in pain.
C GNow you belong to heaven, and the stars spell out your name.
Chorus:
C C7And it seems to me you lived your life
C GLike a candle in the wind
C CNever fading with the sunset when the rain set in
G GmAnd your footsteps will always fall here along England's greenest hills
C C GYour candles burned out long before your legend ever will.
Verse no. 2:
C GLoveliness we've lost, these empty days without your smile
C GThis torch we'll always carry for our nation's golden child
C GAnd even though we try, the truth brings us to tears
C GAll our words cannot express the joy you brought us through the years.
Chorus:
C C7And it seems to me you lived your life
C GLike a candle in the wind
C CNever fading with the sunset when the rain set in
G GmAnd your footsteps will always fall here along England's greenest hills
C C G CYour candles burned out long before your legend ever will.
Verse no. 3:
C GGoodbye England's rose, may you ever grow in our hearts
C GYou were the grace that placed itself where lives were torn apart
C GGoodbye England's rose, from a country lost without your soul
C GWho'll miss the wings of your compassion more than you'll ever know.
Chorus:
C C7And it seems to me you lived your life
C GLike a candle in the wind
C CNever fading with the sunset when the rain set in
G GmAnd your footsteps will always fall here along England's greenest hills
C C G CYour candles burned out long before your legend ever will.
Repeat last part of Chorus...
G GmAnd your footsteps will always fall here among England's greenest hills
C C G CYour candles burned out long before your legend ever will.
