Tablature by: Keiren A. W. ScottWhat is it about you, makes me feel this way?
When I’m leaving you, when I’m coming home
I’m lost for words to say.
And I know your faults and failures,
And the troubles that you’ve been through.
But it’s more about what happens now
And what were coming to.
And the echo from the green hills
Runs through her city streets,
And the sun that shines on England
Well it lifts the heart in me.
England, oh England
England, oh England
What is it about you, that took men into war?
Rows and rows of crosses: Who remembers why what for?
The corners of these foreign fields,
The dust in them concealed.
Out of sight but not out of mind,
Don’t you know that England feels?
And the echo from the green hills
Runs through her city streets,
The rain that falls on England
Well it washes care from me.
England, oh England
England, oh England
Don’t make this out a battle hymn or a song of victory.
It’s just a way to try to say what England means to me.
And our accents and our colours change
And the echo from the green hills
Runs through her city streets,
The rain that falls on England
Well it washes care from me.
England, oh England
England, oh England
And all the colours in between.
It’s a stillness in the evening.
It’s the heartbeat that I’m feeling.
And the echo from the green hills
Runs through her city streets,
The rain that falls on England
Well it washes care from me.
England, oh England
England, oh England
