English Rose    (video)    (intro)

 

    (harbour noises)      G - Em - C - Am   - Em - C - G

 

G                               Em     - C                             Am

    No matter where I roam,       I will return to my English rose,

      Em                  C                              G

for no bonds can ever tempt me from she.

 

    G                                    Em    - C                                    G

1.     I've sailed the seven seas,        flown the whole blue sky,

G                                Em    - C                                        G

    but I returned with haste         to where me love does lie.

 

G                              Em  - C                                      Am

    No matter where I go,        I will come back to my English rose,

       Em              C                              G

for nothing can ever tempt me from she.

 

   G                                        Em     - C                                          G

2.   I've searched the secret mists,        I've climbed the highest peaks,

G                                   Em    - C                                        G

    caught the wild wind home       to hear her soft voice speak.

 

G                               Em     - C                              Am

    No matter where I roam,        I will return to my English rose,

     Em                   C                            G

for no bonds can ever keep me from she.

 

(orig. moves up half a note capo 2nd here)

 

    G                                  Em      - C                                             G

3.    I've been to ancient worlds,        I've scoured the whole universe

G                                         Em     - C                      G

    and caught the first train home        to be at her side.

 

+ CHORUS   + Em - C - Am - G
