Ok well considering this is one of the best songs on an amazing album I'm
surprised that no one else has tabbed it yet. I'm completely sure that it's 100%
accurate because I watched her playing this live on YouTube. So if these chords
aren't right, well then she isn't playing it right either :P
Standard Tuning - CAPO ON 7TH FRET
"England" by PJ Harvey
Tab by Jimmyboy
This is a very simple song in 2 halves with repeating chord loops, then an outro.
Listen to the song if you're not sure where the changes are.
There is only one unusual chord which is a B like this:
---
---
-2-
-1-
-2-
---
1st Half chord loop
Dm, Em, C, Em, F, Em, G
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/p/pj_harvey/england_crd_ver_2.html ]
Ya ya ya ya, ya ya ya ya
I live and die through England
Through England it leaves a sadness
Remedies never were within my reach
I cannot go on as I am
Withered vine reaching from
the country that I love
England, you leave a taste,
a bitter one (hold G and start 2nd-half chord loop G, B, Em, B)
2nd Half chord loop
G, B, Em, B
I have searched for your springs
But people, they stagnate with time
Like water, like air
To you, England, I cling
Outro
C Em C Em C Em B Em
Undaunted, never failing lo--ve for you England
