    E                     DOur history runs down our rivers
D               C#     EDown our rivers to the sea
E                 DReminds us of the things that matter

    E                        BTo remind me an island is my home
                EAn island is my home


Play intro:

Verse 2:
I travelled far across this country
Northumberland to Southern Downs
I wandered up the rolling Humber
And down the Thames to London town
Countless lives were lived and lingered
In the Cotswolds and the Fells
And left a tapestry called England
Of life and those who lived it well

Chorus

Play intro:
E   D/C# G/A  E   (*4)

Verse 3:
Around here the sky's a little closer
A little closer to the ground
It's hard for someone to get lost here
Harder still to get found
Though I've seen a thousand rivers
From the Mississippi to the Rhine
The only place I'd lay my hat down
Is by an English riverside

Chorus
F#                             AI traced these rivers from the cities to the seas
   E                           BTo remind me of what I already know
F#                                AI traced the shorelines through a thousand estuaries
    E                        BTo remind me an island is my home
                F#An island is my home

F#          AHmm hmm hmm hmm

   E                   BSo place your trust in to the sea
     A                BIt's kept us safe for centuries
   E                    BIt shapes our shore and steadily
     A                   BIt's care has brought us calm
    E            BAnd when I die I hope to be
A             BBuried out in English seas
   E               BSo all that then remains of me
     A                 BWill lap against these shores
                   E'Til England is no more
