F Em C D7
Oh England, my Lionheart,
Am G C D7
I'm in your garden, fading fast in your arms.
Dm7 Am E7
The soldiers soften, the war is over.
Dm7 Am E7
The air raid shelters are blooming clover.
Am F E7 F
Flapping umbrellas fill the lanes--
Am F E7 Am
My London Bridge in rain again.
F Em C D7
Oh! England, my Lionheart!
Am G C D7
Peter Pan steals the kids in Kensington Park.
D7 Am E7
You read me Shakespeare on the rolling Thames--
Dm7 Am E7
That old River Poet that never, ever ends.
Am F E7 F
Our thumping hearts hold the ravens in,
Am Fmaj7 E7 Am
And keep the tower from tumbling.
(Refrain)

I don't want to go.
F Em C D7
Oh England, my Lionheart!
Am G C D7
Dropped from my black Spitfire to my funeral barge.
D7 Am E7
Give me one kiss in apple-blossom.
Dm7 Am E7
Give me one wish, and I'd be wassailing
Am F E7 F
In the orchard, my English rose,
Am Fmaj7 E7 Am
Or with my Shepherd, who'll bring me home.
(Refrain)

Oh England, my Lionheart,
