Candle in the wind

Song composer: Elton John

Lyrics author: Elton John

G C

Goodbye England's rose, may you ever grow in our hearts

C G C

You were the grace that placed itself where lives were torn apart

G C

You called out to our country, and you whispered to those in pain.

G C

Now you belong to heaven, and the stars spell out your name.

D D7

And it seems to me you lived your life

G C

Like a candle in the wind

G D

Never fading with the sunset when the rain set in

C Em

And your footsteps will always fall here along England's greenest hills

G D C

Your candles burned out long before your legend ever will.

G C

Loveliness we've lost, these empty days without your smile

G C

This torch we'll always carry for our nation's golden child

G C

And even though we try, the truth brings us to tears

G C

All our words cannot express the joy you brought us through the years.

D D7

And it seems to me you lived your life

G C

Like a candle in the wind

G D

Never fading with the sunset when the rain set in

C Em

And your footsteps will always fall here along England's greenest hills

G D C G

Your candles burned out long before your legend ever will.

G C

Goodbye England's rose, may you ever grow in our hearts

G C

You were the grace that placed itself where lives were torn apart

G C

Goodbye England's rose, from a country lost without your soul

G C

Who'll miss the wings of your compassion more than you'll ever know.

D D7

And it seems to me you lived your life

G C

Like a candle in the wind

G D

Never fading with the sunset when the rain set in

C Em

And your footsteps will always fall here along England's greenest hills

G D C G

Your candles burned out long before your legend ever will.

C Em

And your footsteps will always fall here among England's greenest hills

G D C G

Your candles burned out long before your legend ever will.
