[Verse] 
GC Goodbye England's rose, may you ever grow in our hearts
CGC You were the grace that placed itself where lives were torn apart
GC You called out to our country, and you whispered to those in pain.
GC Now you belong to heaven, and the stars spell out your name.
 [Chorus:]
DD7 And it seems to me you lived your life
GC Like a candle in the wind
GD Never fading with the sunset when the rain set in
CEm And your footsteps will always fall here along England's greenest hills
GDC Your candles burned out long before your legend ever will.
 [Verse no. 2:]
GC Loveliness we've lost, these empty days without your smile
GC This torch we'll always carry for our nation's golden child
GC And even though we try, the truth brings us to tears
GC All our words cannot express the joy you brought us through the years.
 [Chorus:]
DD7 And it seems to me you lived your life
GC Like a candle in the wind
GD Never fading with the sunset when the rain set in
CEm And your footsteps will always fall here along England's greenest hills
GDCG Your candles burned out long before your legend ever will.
 [Verse no. 3:]
GC Goodbye England's rose, may you ever grow in our hearts
GC You were the grace that placed itself where lives were torn apart
GC Goodbye England's rose, from a country lost without your soul
GC Who'll miss the wings of your compassion more than you'll ever know.
 [Chorus:]
DD7 And it seems to me you lived your life
GC Like a candle in the wind
GD Never fading with the sunset when the rain set in
CEm And your footsteps will always fall here along England's greenest hills
GDCG Your candles burned out long before your legend ever will.
 Repeat last part of Chorus...
CEm And your footsteps will always fall here among England's greenest hills
GDCG
