D           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

Chorus:
      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

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

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

Chorus

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

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

Chorus

        D      A    Bm
But my heart still beats
        G          A        D
For my home and my English rose
        D      A    Bm
But my heart still beats
        G          A        D
For my home and my English rose
