IN ENGLAND   (intro)      (sample)
 
      E                                      G                             D             E
1. Colourful compartments, desert island views, elusive in England.
                                           G                                  D            E
    Forget the fabrications, give us all a clue, have faith in horizon.
E                                               D
    Intercity interlude, Jack and Jill rub thighs and think it's rude.
E                                                 D                                A
    Keeping close along the line, lovers losing sense of time.
 
      E
In England, in England, in England, in England
     A
In England, in England, in England, in England
     E
In England, in England, in England, in England
  G - A                 E         G - A    - - - - E                 - D – E - D
Oooooh, that's nice ! Oooooh, Paradise !

2. Many manifestos, nailed upon the wall, out of the blue, only for you.
       E                            G                                  D                 E
    Printed regulations, quick to disapprove, restrictions, restrictions.
E                                                           D
    Skin and bones can't find a way to keep the British blues at bay.
E                                                        D                             A
    Underneath the surface laughter, voices quiver in the dark.
