[Verse]
          C  G
Across the sea
       C         G
By the Tennessee skyline
       C         G
They told me I’d find my
D            G
Hopes and my dreams
          C  G
But I long to be
       C         G
In the bed of my true love
       C         G
Back where I came from
D            G
She’s waiting for me
[Chorus]
     G    C  D
So I make my way
        D    Em      C       G
Through long winding country roads
       G     D     Em
But my heart still beats
       C           D       G
For my home and my English rose
[Verse]
          C  G
I told my dad
       C         G
On the phone it’s amazing
       C         G                   
From the straight to the crazy 
   D            G
These places I’ve seen
          C  G
But I long to be
       C         G
In the arms of my true love
       C         G
Like he loves my mother
   D            G
He understands me
[Chorus]
      G     C  D
And I spend my days
     D    Em      C       G
Just traveling and playing shows
       G     D     Em
And my heart still beats
       C           D       G
For my home and my English rose
C D Em G x2

[Verse]
          C  G
I met a man
       C         G
In the bar down in Memphis
       C         G             
And he told me he went there 
   D           G
To follow his dreams
          C  G
He told me son
       C         G
You know I lost my true love
       C         G
For the same exact reason
       D         G
That you crossed the sea
[Chorus]
    G     C  D
And I found truth
   D   Em   C      G
In people I barely know
       G     D     Em             C      D       G
But my heart still beats for my home and my English rose
      G     D     Em             C      D       G
Oh my heart still beats for my home and my English rose
      G     D     Em             C      D       G
