INTRO:
       C

VERSE:
 C                       
You were my first but we 
          Bm      Em
didn't go all the way
Am                               Em
For better or worse it wasn't to be
             Am        G         F
We threw it away on a beautiful day
          C              Em
Back in '96, we got our kicks
            Am       
We came so close but 
        G      F
in the end we missed
You broke my heart and
             G     G
 nothing's changed
C                           
 Starting to hear your name 
        G                 Am
 about town again (En-ga-land)
                            E
Remembering how you let me down
            Am     G         F
You let me down again and again
             C                E
But it's no good 'cause if I could
           Am            
Go all the way with you, 
     G      F
you know I would
                           G
You were the one who got away

CHORUS:
       F           C           Am
En-ga-land, En-ga-land, En-ga-land
              G
I'm still in love
           F           C
Oh, En-ga-land, En-ga-land
     Am                       G
Even after everything you've done
            F                  C
I'm on my knees, but I can't leave
            E              
I feel you running through 
          Am
my blood stream
G   F
En-ga-land,
            G
Oh can you see
            C
I still believe, En-ga-land
              F
And I still dream, En-ga-land
            C
I still believe, En-ga-land
              F
And I still dream, En-ga-land
                 C
You're still my team

Everyone knows how you've 
      Bm       Em
been playing away
 Am                       
I've been telling myself, 
                   E
"Don't you get tricked"
    Am        G             F
Convincing myself that you changed
         C                E7
I can't seem to stop the dream
          Am          G F

I feel you running through 
          Am
my blood stream

And I still dream, En-ga-land

I still believe, En-ga-land

And I still dream, En-ga-land

God save the queen, En-ga-land

How to play England I Still Believe: key, chords and progression

These are the chords for England I Still Believe by Scouting for Girls on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard

England I Still Believe by Scouting for Girls is written in C major (no sharps or flats) and moves through 9 chords: C, Bm, Em, Am, G, F, E, E7 and Gm.

Listen for Am – G – F – C (vi – V – IV – I in C major): the song comes back to it again and again. In solfa, that is lah – soh – fah – doh. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

Good to know: Bm, F and Gm are played as barre or movable shapes on guitar. Practise the change into them slowly; on piano and ukulele the same chords are easier.
