[C]What is it about you, makes me f[F]eel this w[C]ay?
[C]When I'm leaving you, [Am]when I'm coming home
I'm [F]lost for words to[G] say.
And I k[C]now your faults and failures,
And the tr[F]oubles that you've been th[C]rough.
But it's m[Bb]ore about what [Dm]happens now
And [Dm7]what were coming[G] to.
And the ec[C]ho from the g[F]reen hills
Runs thro[C]ugh her city stre[F]ets,
And the s[Dm]un that shines on [F]England
Well it l[G]ifts the heart in[C] me.
[C]Engl[F]and, oh [C]Engl[F]and[C] [F] [Am] [Dm] [G]
[C]Engl[F]and, oh [C]Engl[F]and[Dm] [F] [G] [C]
[C]What is it about you, that [F]took men into[C] war?
[C]Rows and rows of crosses[Am]: Who remembers why what for?
[F]The corners of these for[G]eign fields,
[C]The dust in them concealed.
[F]Out of sight but not out of[C] mind,
[Dm7]Don't you know that Engl[G]and feels?
[C]And the echo from th[F]e green hills
Runs thro[C]ugh her city stre[F]ets,
[Dm]The rain that fa[F]lls on England
[G]Well it washes c[C]are from me.
[C]Engl[F]and, oh [C]Engl[F]and[C] [F] [Am] [Dm] [G]
[C]Engl[F]and, oh [C]Engl[F]and[Dm] [F] [G] [C]
[C]Don't make this out a ba[F]ttle hymn or a s[C]ong of victory.
[C]It's just a way to try t[Am]o say what England means to me.
[F]And our accents and our [G]colours change
[C]
[F] [C]
[Dm] [G]
[C]And the echo fro[F]m the green hills
Runs thro[C]ugh her city stre[F]ets,
[Dm]The rain that fa[F]lls on England
[G]Well it washes c[C]are from me.
[C]Engl[F]and, oh [C]Engl[F]and[C] [F] [Am] [Dm] [G]
[C]Engl[F]and, oh [C]Engl[F]and[Dm] [F] [G] [C]
[C] [F] [C]
[C] [Am]
[F] [G]
[C]And all the colours in between.
[F]It's a stillness[C] in the evening.
[Bb]It's the heartbe[Dm]at that I'm feeling.
[Dm7] [G]
[F] [C]
[C]And the echo fro[F]m the green hills
Runs thro[C]ugh her city stre[F]ets,
[Dm]The rain that fa[F]lls on England
[G]Well it washes c[C]are from me.
[C]Engl[F]and, oh [C]Engl[F]and[C] [F] [Am] [Dm] [G]
[C]Engl[F]and, oh [C]Engl[F]and[Dm] [F] [G] [C]
