Oh! England, my Lionheart,
Am Em D
I'm in your garden, fading fast in your arms.
Dm Am Em
The soldiers soften, the war is over.
Dm Am Em
The air raid shelters are blooming clover.
Dm Am Em Dm
Flapping umbrellas fill the lanes--
Am Em Em7 Am
My London Bridge in rain again.
Am Em C D
Oh! England, my Lionheart!
Am Em C D
Peter Pan steals the kids in Kensington Park.
Dm Am Em
You read me Shakespeare on the rolling Thames--
Dm Am Em Em7
That old river poet that never, ever ends.
Dm Am Em Dm
Our thumping hearts hold the ravens in,
Dm Am Em Em7 Am
And keep the tower from tumbling.

I don't want to go.
Am Em C D
Oh! England, my Lionheart!
Am Em C D
Dropped from my black Spitfire to my funeral barge.
Dm Am Em
Give me one kiss in apple-blossom.
Dm Am Em Em7
Give me one wish, and I'd be wassailing
Dm Am Em Dm
In the orchard, my English rose,
Am Em Em7 Am
Or with my shepherd, who'll bring me home.
C F
Oh! England, my Lionheart,

Oh! England, my Lionheart,

Oh! England, my Lionheart,

Oh! England, my Lionheart,
G
I don't want to go.
