[G] [D] [A] [D]
Many [D] miles I have wandered, on the [G] paths of my [D] homeland,
By [G] rivers, through [D] woodland, and [Em] by the sea [A] side.
On [D] streets I have seen those with [G] greed and hate [D] in their eyes,
And [G] those with their [D] hearts and their [A] hands open [D] wide.
[G] [D] [A] [D]
All my life has been blessed by its [G] thunderstorm [D] summer times,
By [G] misty gold [D] autumns, by [Em] fires in the [A] snow.
By [D] rainbows, by bluebells, by [G] radiant [D] spring times,
In the [G] wild, windy [D] meadows, where the [A] dandelions [D] blow.
[G] [D] [A] [D]
There are [D] some who would change this fair [G] home to a [D] prison,
To [G] enslave the [D] many, and [Em] bow to the [A] few.
[NC]The robbers, the racists, the breakers of faces,
Who [G] hide behind [D] masks and the [A] red white and [D] blue.
So stand [D] up, come on, England, live [G] up to your [D] history,
Your [G] heart can't be [D] held in a [Em] flag or a [A] crown!
Raise your [D] tea cups and glasses, you [G] bold lads and [D] lasses,
And [G] drink to the [D] spirit that will [A] never lie [D] down!
[G] [D] [A] [D]
For I [D]* come from the [D]* land of the [G]* diggers and [D]* levellers,
The [G]* fighters for [D]* freedom and [Em]* our National [A]* Health.
The [D]* beaten, mis[D]*treated, but [G]* never de-[D]*feated,
The [G]* builders and [D]* guardians of the [A] true Common[D]wealth.
[G] [D] [A] [D]
Only [D] lovin' can save us, only [G] givin' will [D] raise us,
So [G] welcome all [D] travellers to [Em] sweet liber-[A]ty.
And [D] raise all your voices to de-[G]fend our de-[D]mocracy...[D]
For [G] equality, [D] justice, and [A] community. [D]
[NC] So stand up, come on, England, live up to your history,
Your heart can't be held in a flag or a crown!
Raise your tea cups and glasses, you bold lads and lasses,
And drink to the spirit that will never lie down!
So stand [D] up, come on, England, live [G] up to your [D] history,
Your [G] heart can't be [D] held in a [Em] flag or a [A] crown!
Raise your [D] tea cups and glasses, you [G] bold lads and [D] lasses,
And [G] drink to the [D] spirit that will [A] never lie [D] down!
Slow down [NC] And drink to the spirit that will never lie down!
