[Intro]
D

[Verse 1]
      D             
It is opening day and
    G     A
 a brand new start
    D                       
The stones have been cleared 
            G     A
around the fisherman\'s hut
        D         
And the air bites, 
                    G     A 
then leaves almost invisible
              G     A
 cuts on the skin
  D                 
A lighthouse retired, 
        G       A
but a new one was hired
      D                 
About twenty foot taller 
         G        A
painted in black and white
       D                
Twenty million steps with
    G    A                
 a computer inside instead 
         G A
of him

[Chorus]
     G   D    A    
Only one road sign, 
         D       A    Bm
telling cars to slow down
      G         A            D
And a long drop in the ocean
       G      D   A   
Beware of the rip tide,
         D         A     Bm
 broken glass and train lines
       G            A   
It\'s a new day, and this 
            D
is England

[Verse 2]
            D                
Next to the pub with the flag
                G  A
 that\'s workin\' flexible hours
          D                     
There\'s a mismatch of carriages, 
           G        A
soil in a boat for some flowers
      D                   
Fairy lights on a building 
        G         A 
that\'s supplying us 
                   G A
power from the sea
    D                 
Electricity lines flow 
      G     A
like veins to the town
     D                    
In-between there is nothing 
           G    A
but grass and pebbles 
on the ground
       D                  
Do not enter the wild here
    G           A        
 if you want to be found
             G A
 for the free

[Chorus]
         G        D  A    
View the flame of sunrise 
       D       A   Bm
cut in half by the sky
        G     A            D
And the empty of the desert
        G          D      A 
Team of birds that swerve by
          D       A    Bm
 and then land on the wires
       G            A  
It\'s a new day, and this
             D
 is England

[Bridge]
          Em            
When it\'s time to escape
          G
 from the heavy of this
         D            
There is nothing like 
         A
washing away
            Em             
I find this country of mine 
          G
get some bad reputation
   D              A
Of being cold and grey
           Em          
But on the coast of the
              G
south to the east
 followed round
         D     
I find serenity 
            A
I\'ve never felt
          Em               
There\'s a peace and a quiet 
         G
in this island of ours
              D         
That can\'t be mirrored by
           A
 anywhere else

[Verse 3]
         D                 
Homes protruding from stones 
             G    A
with their wood-coloured black
          D              
Scattered cars in a line, 
 G       G
steam risin\' out the shack
    D                   
One door at the front and 
       G    A              
then just glass at the back
                G A
 for the view

[Chorus]
        G       D  A      
And the blue is so bright, 
             D   
you\'ll need shades 
       A    Bm
for your eyes
        G     A            D
And the cable to pull over
       G        D    A    
Take a walk and feel like, 
      D          A  Bm
everything will be fine
       G           A    
It\'s a new day, and this
          D
 is England
