Intro: C F C Dm (4X)
C F C Dm C F C
Once, all this was silver birch, Scots pine and English yew, Hawthorne where Aldi stands
F C Dm C F C
Come now, we can plant anew and crack wide Tesco?s aisles, with Acorns from the ground
C F C Dm
Quintillions of sacred atoms cluster and collide
C F C G
And the stately homes of England?s stained glass windows testify
C F C Dm
The bluebell woods, where we once stood are under tarmac now
C F C F G C
And the sacred groves, those mighty oaks are Dark satanic shopping centers now
C F C Dm C F C
Ash, Rowan tree and Lime, Could Albion rebuild, Reforest Britain now,
C F C Dm C F C
Hornbeam and lowly spindle tree, Could burst through Asda?s floors, with Acorns from the ground
C F C Dm
Quintillions of sacred atoms cluster and collide
C F C G
And the council homes of England?s plastic windows testify
C F C Dm
The bluebell woods, where we once stood are under tarmac now
C F C F G C
And the sacred groves, the mighty oaks are Dark satanic shopping centers now
