Topic: England a old/new song
Hi,
I originally posted this song sometime last year.
I have revamped the song musically keeping most of the original lyrics.
The song is for my Father who passed away sometime ago he was a true patriot and loved England.
I have made an attempt at singing on this one not one of my great strengths.
Anyway it can be listen to on Myspace page http://www.myspace.com/onlyarkady
Thanks
Regards to all

[D] What is it [G] about you [D] that makes me feel this [G] way.
[D] When I’m leaving [Bm] when I’m coming home[ G] I’m lost for words [A] to say.
[D] And I know you have faults [G] and failures [D] andthe troubles you’ve [G] been through.
[Em] But its not [D] what happened [G] in the past its [A] what we are going to.
[D] And the echo across[ G] the green fields [D] runs through your city [G] streets.
[Bm] And the dream have [G] for England [A] puts the heart [D] in me.

[D] What is it [G] about you [D] that makes men go to [G] war.
[D] To fight anddie in a [Bm] foreign land who could [G] ask of them [A] more.
[D] They were only [G] ordinary men with [D] love ones they left [G] behind.
[Em] But with [D] a sense [G] of duty they [A] knew it was their time.
[D] And the echo across the [G] battlefields [D] runs down through [G] the years.
[Bm] And the memories [G] they have of England [A] puts the heart [D] in them.

[D] What is it [G] about you [D] that comes down through [G] the years.
[D] Isit [Bm] a sense of pride [G] or a proprietarily [D] fear.
[D] That this here [G] our country [D] though thick and thin [G] has survived.
[Em] And hope that [D] in the [G] future [A] an utopia will arrive.
[D] And they echo [G] from by -gone days [D] moulds the future we try to [G] grasp.
[Bm] And the dreams [G] of English[A] people [A] puts the heart back in them.
