England chords by Ed Sheeran

♫ Intro:

B

♫ Verse 1:
    B         C
It is opening day and a brand new start
   Gm                 C
The stores are bein' cleared around the fishermen's huts
     B              C           B  C
And the air bites the leaves, almost invisible cuts on the skin
  B            C
A lighthouse retired, but a new one was hired
    B               C
About twenty foot taller, painted in black and white
     B            C           B  C
Twenty million steps with a computer inside instead of him

♫ Chorus:
   B  B  C      B   C  Gm
Only one road sign telling cars to slow down
    B    C      B
And a long drop in the ocean
    B    B C       B     C   Gm
Beware of the riptide, broken glass and train rides
    B      C       B
It's a new day and this is England

♫ Verse 2:
       B                 C
Next to the park with the flag that's workin' flexible hours
          B                C
'Cause there's a mismatch of carriages sorted in a boat of sunflowers
    B                  C         B C
Fairy lights on a building that's supplyin' us power from the sea
   B              C
Electricity lines flow like veins to the town
    B                  C
In-between, there is nothing but grass and pebbles on the ground
    B             C             B  C
Do not enter the wild here if you want to be found for the free

♫ Chorus:
     B   B  C     B    C  Gm
View the famous sunrise cut in half by the sky
     B   C      B
And the empty of the desert
     B      B  C      B   C  Gm
Team of birds that swerve by and the land of the wise
    B      C       B
It's a new day and this is England

♫ Bridge:
      Cm           B
When it's time to escape from the heavy abyss
     B           C
There is nothin' like washin' away
       Cm            B
I find this country of mine get some bad reputation
   B       C
Of being cold and grey
      Cm             B
But on the coast of this south to the east followed ground
     B         C
I find serenity I've never felt
      Cm             B
There's a peace, enough quiet in the silent bars
        B          C
That can't be mirrored by anywhere else

♫ Verse 3:
      B               C
Homes protruding from stones with their wood coloured black
      B              C
Scattered cars in a line, steam risin' out the shaft
   B                C             B C
One door at the front and then just glass at the back for the view

♫ Chorus:
     B   B  C          B     C  Gm
And the blue is so bright, you'll need shades for your eyes
     B  C      B
And the cable to pull over
    B    B   C      B    C  Gm
Take a walk and feel light, everything will be fine
    B      C       B
It's a new day and this is England

♫ Outro:
