Laura Marling - Goodbye England Covered In Snow

although i’ve a funny feeling she plays it in a different tuning , i reckon this
sounds about right . it may be completely wrong , in which case i’m sorry .

D Bm G D

D
you were so smart then ,
Bm
in your jacket and coat ,
A
my softest red scarf was ,
D
warming your throat .
D
winter was on us ,
Bm
at the end of my nose ,
G ( a? ) D
and i never love england more than when covered in snow .

Bm A
well a friend of mine says it’s good to hear ,
G D
you believe in love even if set in fear ,
Bm A
well i’ll hold you there brother and set you straight ,
G D A
i only believe true love is frail and willing to break .

D
i will come back here ,
Bm
bring me back when i’m old ,
A
i want to lay here ,
D
forever in the cold ,
D
i might be cold but ,
Bm
i’m just skin and bone ,
G ( a? ) D
and i never love england more than when covered in snow .

D Bm
i wrote my name in your book , only god knows why ,
A
and i bet you that he cracked a smile ,
G D
and i’m clearing all the stuff out of my room ,
D
trying desperately to figure out ,
A
what it is that makes me blue ,
G D
and i wrote an epic letter to you ,

and it’s 22 pages front and back ,
A
and it’s too good to be used ,
G D
and i tried to be a girl who likes to be used ,
D
i’m too good for that ,
G
there’s a mind under this hat and i ,
Bm D
called them all and told them i’ve got to move .

D Bm
i’m out of love , it’s too hard ,
Bm Bm
i’m all alone , it’s too hard ,
D Bm D Bm
feel like running , feel like running ,
A
running off .

D Bm D Bm A
and we will keep you , we will keep you little one
G A
safe from harm , like an extra arm
D

Bm
in your jacket and coat ,

my softest red scarf was ,

warming your throat .
