B (x2444x)
C#m (x46654)
Here it is, the song that makes people all over the world cry over
a woman they didn't even know! Yes, this is the 'English Rose'
version, not the 'Marilyn Monroe' version, but that's strictly
because the mp3 I've got for this file has the english rose lyrics.
I personally don't think that one rich woman getting killed because
she was driving too fast in a car with a drunken driver is the
greatest tragedy ever! I don't cry over people I don't know. Well,
maybe a tear or two for Kurt Cobain... ;)
But all that aside, this is a great song, and easy to play too.
Elton John played it in E so I transcribed it in E, but I think it
sounds better on guitar in the key of C because than you can use
just open position chords instead of barred chords like B and C#m.
So if you wanna play it in C just follow this:
Any E chord here becomes a C (x32010)
Any A chord here becomes a F (133211)
Any B chord here becomes a G (320033)
Any C#m chord here becomes a Am (x02210)
Try that if you want it to sound better!
INTRO:
------
B A E B [stop]
VERSE 1:
--------
E
Goodbye England's Rose
A
May you ever grow in our hearts
E
You were the grace that placed yourself
A
Where lives were torn apart
E
You called out to our country
A
And you whispered to those in pain
E
Now you belong to heaven
A
And the stars spell out your name
CHORUS:
-------
B
And it seems to me you've lived your life
E A
Like a candle in the wind
E
Never fading with the sunset
B
When the rain set in
A
And your footsteps will always fall here
C#m [stop]
Along England's greenest hills
B
Your candle's burned out long before
A E B A E B
Your legend ever will
VERSE 2: [play like verse 1]
--------
Loveliness we've lost
Those empty days, without your smile
This torch will always carry
for our nation's golden child
Even though we try
The truth brings out the tears
All our words can not express
The joy you brought us through the years
CHORUS: [play like first chorus]
-------
And it seems to me you've lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never fading with the sunset
When the rain set in
And your footsteps will always fall here
Along England's greenest hills
Your candle's burned out long before
Your legend ever will
VERSE 3: [play like verses 1 & 2]
--------
Goodbye England's rose
May you ever, grow in our hearts
You were the grace that placed yourself
Where lives were torn apart
Goodbye England's rose
From the country lost, without your soul
We'll miss the wings of your compassion
More than you will ever know
CHORUS:
-------
B
And it seems to me you've lived your life
E A
Like a candle in the wind
E
Never fading with the sunset
B
When the rain set in
A
And your footsteps will always fall here
C#m [stop]
Along England's greenest hills
B
Your candle's burned out long before
A E
Your legend ever will
