Goodbye England (Covered in Snow)
guitar chords lyrics
Although I've a funny feeling she plays it in a different tuning, I reckon this
sounds about right. It may be completely wrong, in which case I'm sorry.
D Bm G D
D
You were so smart then,
Bm
In your jacket and coat,
A
My softest red scarf was,
D
Warming your throat.
D
Winter was on us,
Bm
At the end of my nose,
G (A?) D
And I never love England more than when covered in snow.
Bm A
Well a friend of mine says it's good to hear,
G D
You believe in love even if set in fear,
Bm A
Well I'll hold you there brother and set you straight,
G D A
I only believe true love is frail and willing to break.
D
I will come back here,
Bm
Bring me back when I'm old,
A
I want to lay here,
D
Forever in the cold,
D
I might be cold but,
Bm
I'm just skin and bone,
G (A?) D
And I never love England more than when covered in snow.
D Bm
I wrote my name in your book, only God knows why,
A
And I bet you that he cracked a smile,
G D
And I'm clearing all the stuff out of my room,
D
Trying desperately to figure out,
A
What it is that makes me blue,
G D
And I wrote an epic letter to you,
And it's 22 pages front and back,
A
And it's too good to be used,
G D
And I tried to be a girl who likes to be used,
D
I'm too good for that,
G
There's a mind under this hat and I,
Bm D
Called them all and told them i've got to move.
D Bm
I'm out of love, it's too hard,
Bm Bm
I'm all alone, it's too hard,
D Bm D Bm
Feel like running, feel like running,
A
Running off.
D Bm D Bm A
And we will keep you, we will keep you little one
G A
Safe from harm, like an extra arm
D
You are part of us.
D
You were so smart then,
Bm
In your jacket and coat,
A
My softest red scarf was,
D
Warming your throat.
D
Winter will us,
Bm
Left the end of my nose,
G (A?) D
And I never love England more than when covered in snow.
