G  D 
Across the sea 
       G         D 
By the Tennessee skyline 
       G         D 
They told me I’d find my 
A            D 
Hopes and my dreams

          G  D 
But I long to be 
       G         D 
In the bed of my true love 
       G         D 
Back where I came from 
A            D 
She’s waiting for me

     D    G  A 
So I make my way 
        A    Bm      G       D 
Through long winding country roads 
       D     A     Bm 
But my heart still beats 
       G           A       D 
For my home and my English rose

          G  D 
I told my dad 
       G         D 
On the phone it’s amazing 
       G         D 
From the straight to the crazy  
   A            D 
These places I’ve seen

          G  D 
But I long to be 
       G         D 
In the arms of my true love 
       G         D 
Like he loves my mother 
   A            D 
He understands me

      D     G  A 
And I spend my days 
     A    Bm      G       D 
Just traveling and playing shows 
       D     A     Bm 
And my heart still beats 
       G           A       D 
For my home and my English rose

          G  D 
I met a man 
       G         D 
In the bar down in Memphis 
       G         D 
And he told me he went there  
   A           D 
To follow his dreams

          G  D 
He told me son 
       G         D 
You know I lost my true love 
       G         D 
For the same exact reason 
       A         D 
That you crossed the sea

    D     G  A 
And I found truth 
   A   Bm   G      D 
In people I barely know 
       D     A     Bm             G      A       D 
But my heart still beats for my home and my English rose 
      D     A     Bm             G      A       D 
Oh my heart still beats for my home and my English rose 
      D     A     Bm             G      A       D 
Oh my heart still beats for my home and my English rose.
