My first chords, dont be too mean ;) Can't believe noones uploaded this yet! One of my 
favs from the new album, had to be done.

A/E means play the bass note E (3rd string).
G-A or E- means quickly strum the chord preceding the "-" before going straight back to 
the following chord (So for the E-, its E then A). This just adds a little something to 
the song.

Also, I find it sounds nice to play the A with the G string open (Making it A7 perhaps? 
I'm no expert 002200). Hope this helps!

I traveled far across this country
Northumberland to Southern Downs
I wandered up the rolling Humber
And down the Thames to London town
Countless lives were lived and lingered
In the cuts, swerves, and the fells
I left a tapestry called England
And life and those who lived it well

I traced these rivers from the cities to the seas
To remind me of what I already know
I traced the shorelines through a thousand histories
To remind me an island is my home
An island is my home

Round here the sky is a little closer
A little closer to the ground
It's hard for someone to get lost here
Harder still to get found
Though I've seen a thousand rivers
From the Mississippi to the Rhine
The only place that I'll lay my hat down
Is by an English riverside

I traced these rivers from the cities to the seas
To remind me of what I already know
I traced the shorelines through a thousand histories
To remind me an island is my home
An island is my home
