 G - C

 G                   C       
  English trees in my garden
 G                 C    
  planted seeds in a far away land
 Am          D9/F#              Em        Am          
  In between   the palms and the succulent growth

     G                       C           
They lose their leaves in the winter
 G                   C         
  Mark the seasons for him and for her
 Am         D9/F#         Em     Am               
  Once upon a   time in the fallen snow
 Am            D9/F#      Esusb13       Em               
  Up against the  sky made a  silhouette  show

 G                    C       
  England cries and she plays for him
   G                     C               
The chords entwined like a requiem
  Am          D9/F#             Em         Am        
Al- though it's   springtime, and colour is new
  Am      D9/F#        Esusb13      Em                 
In Regent's  Park, I will   mourn for  you
      G     D/F#    Em                          
And I must be wise   somehow
         G           D/F#    C                     
'Cause my heart's been broken down

 Am            A7M9         
  It's so far to     fall
 Fm             C      
  And so hard to climb
 Am                  A7M9       
  Nothing's sadder, I      know
 Cm                   G           
  Than the passing of   time

 Dm - G/B - Am - Dm      Dm - G/B - F

                  C - F    
Won't forget me 
                     C - F  
You won't forget me 

 C                  F       
  English trees in my garden
 C                      F     
  Summer's missed you, my darling
   C                      F                
And all your crimes are for- given
   C                        F            
Yes, all your crimes are for- given
     Am     Em       Am            
And I must be wise some- how

 C - F7M - C - F7M

  England cries Ohhh
