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