================================= Elton John - CANDLE IN THE WIND ================================= E A Goodbye England's rose, may you ever grow in our hearts E A You were the grace that placed itself where lives were torn apart E A You called out to our country, and you whispered to those in pain. E A Now you belong to heaven, and the stars spell out your name. Chorus: B B7 And it seems to me you lived your life E A Like a candle in the wind E B Never fading with the sunset when the rain set in A C#m And your footsteps will always fall here along England's greenest hills E B A E Your candles burned out long before your legend ever will. Verse no. 2: E A Loveliness we've lost, these empty days without your smile E A This torch we'll always carry for our nation's golden child E A And even though we try, the truth brings us to tears E A All our words cannot express the joy you brought us through the years. Chorus: B B7 And it seems to me you lived your life E A Like a candle in the wind E B Never fading with the sunset when the rain set in A C#m And your footsteps will always fall here along England's greenest hills E B A E Your candles burned out long before your legend ever will. Verse no. 3: E A Goodbye England's rose, may you ever grow in our hearts E A You were the grace that placed itself where lives were torn apart E A Goodbye England's rose, from a country lost without your soul E A Who'll miss the wings of your compassion more than you'll ever know. Chorus: B B7 And it seems to me you lived your life E A Like a candle in the wind E B Never fading with the sunset when the rain set in A C#m And your footsteps will always fall here along England's greenest hills E B A E Your candles burned out long before your legend ever will. Repeat last part of Chorus... A C#m And your footsteps will always fall here among England's greenest hills E B A E Your candles burned out long before your legend ever will.
