   Goodbye England's Rose
                A
   May you ever   grow in our hearts
                           E/G#
   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
          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                  A       G#m   F#m   E   B
   Your legend ever will   
   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

   REFRÃO
   
   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
          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
   Along England's greenest hills
                            B
   Your candle's burned out long before
        A                  E 
   Your legend ever will
