Verse

G                   C
English trees in my garden

G                  C
Planted seeds in a faraway land

Am            D9/F#         Em        Am         
Inbetween the palms and the succulent growth

     G                        C             
They lose their leaves in the winter

G                    C
Mark the seasons for him and for her

Am          D9/F#       Em     Am
Once upon a time in the fallen snow

Am             D9/F#       Esusb13     Em
Up against the sky, made a sillhouette show



G                  C
England cries and she plays for him

G                  C
The chords intwined like a requiem

    Am          D9/F#          Em        Am        
And though it's springtime and colour is new

   Am      D9/F#       Esusb13   Em
In Regents Park I will mourn for you

Lead-In

Em  D/F#  G       D/F# Em
And I     must be wise somehow

Em     D/F#  G            D/F#   C
'Cause my    heart's been broken down

Bridge

Am             Amaj7sus2    
It's so far to fall 

Fm             C
And so hard to climb

Am               Amaj7sus2    
Nothing sadder I know 

Cm                  G
Than the passing of time


Dm   G/B   Am   Dm

Dm   G/B   F

C   F
    Don't forget me

C   F
    Don't forget me



C                   Fmaj7
English trees in my garden

C                       Fmaj7
Summer's missed you, my darling

    C                   Fmaj7
And all your crimes are forgiven

    C                   Fmaj7
Yes all your crimes are forgiven

      Am      Em   Am
And I must be wise somehow



C   Fmaj7   C   Fmaj7

G       C
England cries

G      C
Ohhh

G   C

G                   C
English trees in my garden
