These are England chords by Ed Sheeran on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard.
[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
