Candle In The Wind

G C

Goodbye England's rose, may you ever grow in our hearts
C G C

You were the grace that placed itself where lives were torn apart

You called out to our country, and you whispered to those in pain.

Now you belong to heaven, and the stars spell out your name.
Chorus:
D D7

And it seems to me you lived your life
G C

Like a candle in the wind

Never fading with the sunset when the rain set in

And your footsteps will always fall here along England's greenest hills
G D C

Your candles burned out long before your legend ever will.
Verse no. 2:
G C

Loveliness we've lost, these empty days without your smile
G C

This torch we'll always carry for our nation's golden child
G C

And even though we try, the truth brings us to tears
G C

All our words cannot express the joy you brought us through the years.

And it seems to me you lived your life

Your candles burned out long before your legend ever will.

Who'll miss the wings of your compassion more than you'll ever know.
