VERSE 1
********
D                          A                      G
Prince Louis Battenberg is burning the Admiralty lights down low
D                        A                    G
Silently sifting through papers sealed with a crown
D                      A                     G                D
Admiral Lord Fisher is writing to Churchill, calling for more Dreadnoughts
              A                       G
The houses in Hackney are all falling down

D
                               A                            D
And my grandmother sits on the beach in the days before the war
Bb                     D      F                       G
Young girl writing her diary,    while time seems to pause
Bb                                                       D      F
Watching the waves as they come one by one to die on the shore
            Bb     A      D
Kissing the feeeeeeeeeeet of England.

VERSE 2
********
       D                          A                     
Oh the lights of Saint Petersburg come on as usual
G                      D                             A                            G
Although the air seems charged with a strangeness of late, yet there's nothing to touch
        D                        A                         G
And the Tsar in his great Winter Palace has called for the foreign news
   D                         A                   G
An archduke was shot down in Bosnia, but nothing much

D
                                   A                             D
And my grandmother sits before the mirror in the days before the war
Bb               D      F                     G
Smiling a secret smile     as she goes to the door
        Bb                                                 D     F
And the young man rides off in his carriage, homeward once more
                 Bb         A      D
And the sun sets gentlyyyyyyyyyyyy on England.

VERSE 3
********
       D                 A                          G
Ah the day we decided to drive down to Worthing, it rained and rained
D                A                      G
Giving us only a minute to stand by the sea
    D                            A                             G
And crunching my way through the shingles, it seemed there was nothing changed
           D                    A                            G
Though the jetty was maybe more scarred that I'd known it to be

D
                          A                      D
And Mandi and I stood and stared at the overcast sky
      Bb                   D                         G
Where ten years ago we had stood, my Grandfather and I
        Bb                                                 D
And the waves still rushed in as they had the year that he died
       Bb                                                   D
And it seemed that my lifetime was shrunken and lost in the tide
                           Bb      A      D
As it rose and fell on the sideeeeeeeeeee of England


G D G D

D                          A                           F
Prince Louis Battenberg is burning the Admiralty lights

hello lyrics (by destrophy)

Lyrics for: hello by destrophy My friend lay wide awake at night Too cold and tired to carry out the fight We talked so much back then When someone's gone you remember everything He called and told me something's wrong Somehow the wheels had all come off He thought he'd call to say hello again He said I remember yesterday The games we played and things that mattered Never thought those days would end I said I'm glad you called me up today I thought you called to say hello Now I know, you were saying goodbye I asked if he would be all right Said don't give up...
