Ed Sheeran - England Chords

[intro]
F

[verse 1]
      F                 A#     C
It is opening day and a brand new start
    F
The stones have been cleared around
    A#     C
the fisherman's hut
        F
And the air bites, then leaves
       A#     C               A#  C
almost invisible cuts on the skin
  F                         A#       C
a lighthouse retired, but a new one was hired
      F
About twenty foot taller painted
A#        C
in black and white
       F
Twenty million steps with
  A#    C                         A#  C
a computer inside instead of him

[chorus]
     A#   F    C             F       C    Dm
Only one road sign, telling cars to slow down
      A#         C          F
And a long drop in the ocean
       A#      F   C
Beware of the rip tide,
       F         C     Dm
broken glass and train lines
       A#            C               F
It's a new day, and this is England

[verse 2]
            F
Next to the pub with the flag
               A#  C
that's workin' flexible hours
          F
There's a mismatch of carriages,
          A#        C
soil in a boat for some flowers
      F
Fairy lights on a building
       A#         C                    A#  C
that's supplying us power from the sea
    F                       A#     C
Electricity lines flow like veins to the town
     F
In-between there is nothing
         A#    C
but grass and pebbles on the ground
       F
Do not enter the wild here
   A#           C                     A# C
if you want to be found for the free

[chorus]
         A#        F  C
View the flame of sunrise
       F       C   Dm
cut in half by the sky
        A#     C            F
And the empty of the desert
        A#          F      C
Team of birds that swerve by
         F       C    Dm
and then land on the wires
       A#            C               F
It's a new day, and this is England

[bridge]
          Gm
When it's time to escape
         A#
from the heavy of this
         F                     C
There is nothing like washing away
            Gm
I find this country of mine
         A#
get some bad reputation
   F              C
Of being cold and grey
           Gm
But on the coast of the south
       A#
to the east followed round
         F                 C
I find serenity I've never felt
          Gm
There's a peace and a quiet
        A#
in this island of ours
              F                    C
That can't be mirrored by anywhere else

[verse 3]
         F
Homes protruding from stones
           A#    C
with their wood-coloured black
          F
Scattered cars in a line,
A#       C
steam risin' out the shack
    F
One door at the front and then
A#    C                           A#  C
just glass at the back for the view

[chorus]
        A#       F  C
And the blue is so bright,
            F          C    Dm
you'll need shades for your eyes
        A#     C            F
And the cable to pull over
       A#        F    C
Take a walk and feel like,
     F          C  Dm
everything will be fine
       A#           C              F
It's a new day, and this is England
