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!

E By myth and modal melody F# A I traced these rivers from the cities to the seas E B To remind me of what I already know F# A I traced the shorelines through a thousand esturies E B To remind me an island is my home E An island is my home 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 E F# So place your trust into the sea A B It's kept us safe for centuries E F# It shaped our shores and steadily A B Its care has brought us, calm E F# When I die, I hope to be A B buried out in English seas E F# So all that then remains of me A B Will lap against these shores E Until England is no more
