C F C
What is it about you, makes me feel this way?
C Am
When I'm leaving you, when I'm coming home
F G
I'm lost for words to say.
C
And I know your faults and failures,
F C
And the troubles that you've been through.
Bb Dm
But it's more about what happens now
Dm7 G
And what were coming to.
C F
And the echo from the green hills
C F
Runs through her city streets,
Dm F
And the sun that shines on England
G C
Well it lifts the heart in me.
C F C F C F Am Dm G
England, oh England
C F C F Dm F G C
England, oh England
C F C
What is it about you, that took men into war?
C Am
Rows and rows of crosses:
F G
Who remembers why what for?
C
The corners of these foreign fields,
F C
The dust in them concealed.
Bb Dm
Out of sight but not out of mind,
Dm7 G
Don't you know that England feels?
C F
And the echo from the green hills
C F
Runs through her city streets,
Dm F
The rain that falls on England
G C
Well it washes care from me.
C F C F C F Am Dm G
England, oh England
C F C F Dm F G C
England, oh England
C F C
Don't make this out a battle hymn or a song of victory.
C Am
It's just a way to try to say
F G
what England means to me.
C
And our accents and our colours change
F C
From the city to the farmland
Bb Dm
From the moor-land to the mountain,
Dm7 G
From the river to the sea.
C F
And the echo from the green hills
C F
Runs through her city streets,
Dm F
The rain that falls on England
G C
Well it washes care from me.
C F C F C F Am Dm G
England, oh England
C F C F Dm F G C
England, oh England
C F C
From the rolling road to the winding lane,
C Am
From the field to factory,
F G
From summer's haze to winter's glaze,
C
And all the colours in between.
F C
It's a stillness in the evening.
Bb Dm
It's the heartbeat that I'm feeling.
Dm7 G
From Cornwall to Northumberland,
F C
From the Pennines to the sea.
C F
And the echo from the green hills
C F
Runs through her city streets,
Dm F
The rain that falls on England
G C
Well it washes care from me.
