D |E
MERRY ENGLAND LIVES JUST SOUTH OF NOTTINGHILL,
|G |D |
IN DAILY DREAMS OF SHAKESPEARE LIKE SOME PISCES WILL.
./. |E
THOUGH SHE'S NEVER BEEN BEYOND THE LADBROKE GATE,
|G |D
THE WORLD HAS SPUN AROUND THERE MANY TIMES OF LATE.
======================================================================CHORUS:
|Bm |D
CAN CAROLINE REMEMBER, HE THAT DID BEFRIEND HER,
|G |D (2-count) |A
AND SCARCELY TOUCHED THE BEAUTY, OF A SADNESS ON HER SOUL.
|Bm |D
SO SUBTLE WERE HER CHANGES, NO ONE EVEN NOTICED,
|G |D (2-count) |A
THAT MANY YEARS OF CRYING AND SHE BARELY LET IT SHOW.

SOME MAIDEN IN A CASTLE UP ON NOTTING-HILL.
