Green Fields of England

[copyright M Charles]

Verse 1

Never underestimate the love of an Englishman,

Love of an Englishman for England

Deep within his heart he feels such pride for his country

The precious country, that he loves

Mid 8

From the Angel of the North to the Cornish coast

  From Charlton, Hurst and Moore to a Sunday roast

Chorus

`Till I die I`ll love the green fields of England

Green fields of England that is home

Deep in my soul you find the things that I stand for

Grandfather fought for in the wars

Verse 2

And when they`re under fire, we`ll lift them higher

So get behind the Boys, come on and make some noise, for Eng-LAND

From the Beatles and the Stones to the Fawlty Towers

We gave the world football and this time its ours

Chorus

`Till I die I`ll love the green fields of England

Green fields of England that is home

Deep in my soul you find the things that I stand for

Grandfather fought for in the wars

From a sense of fair play to a pint of beer

The best league in the world you`re gonna find it here

From the fish and chips to strawberries and cream

We gonna get behind Capello`s Eng-lish team

Chorus

`Till I die I`ll love the green fields of England

Green fields of England that is home

Deep in my soul you find the things that I stand for

Grandfather fought for in the wars

Chorus

`Till I die I`ll love the green fields of England

Green fields of England that is home

Deep in my soul you find the things that I stand for

Grandfather fought for in the wars
