 G5 - C5

 G5                   C5       
  English trees in my garden
 G5                 C5    
  planted seeds in a far away land
 A5          D5              E5        A5          
  In between   the palms and the succulent growth

     G5                       C5           
They lose their leaves in the winter
 G5                   C5         
  Mark the seasons for him and for her
 A5         D5         E5     A5               
  Once upon a   time in the fallen snow
 A5            D5      Esusb13       E5               
  Up against the  sky made a  silhouette  show

 G5                    C5       
  England cries and she plays for him
   G5                     C5               
The chords entwined like a requiem
  A5          D5             E5         A5        
Al- though it's   springtime, and colour is new
  A5      D5        Esusb13      E5                 
In Regent's  Park, I will   mourn for  you
      G5     D5    E5                          
And I must be wise   somehow
         G5           D5    C5                     
'Cause my heart's been broken down

 A5            A7M9         
  It's so far to     fall
 F5             C5      
  And so hard to climb
 A5                  A7M9       
  Nothing's sadder, I      know
 C5                   G5           
  Than the passing of   time

 D5 - G5 - A5 - D5      D5 - G5 - F5

                  C5 - F5    
Won't forget me 
                     C5 - F5  
You won't forget me 

 C5                  F5       
  English trees in my garden
 C5                      F5     
  Summer's missed you, my darling
   C5                      F5                
And all your crimes are for- given
   C5                        F5            
Yes, all your crimes are for- given
     A5     E5       A5            
And I must be wise some- how

 C5 - F5 - C5 - F5
 G5      C5   G5        C5               
  England cries Ohhh 
 G5 - C5
 G5                  C5         
  English trees in my garden
