[B] [A]
[E] [B]
[E] Goodbye Ingram's Rose, May you [A] ever grow in our hearts,
You were the [E] grace that placed yourselves where lives were [A] torn apart.
You called out [E] to our country, and you [A] whispered to those in pain,
Now you [E] belong to heaven, and the stars spell out [A] your name.
[D] [A]
[B] And it seems to me, you lived your life [E] like a candle in the [A] wind,
[E] Never fading with the sunset [B] when the rain set in.
[A] And your footsteps will always fall here, [C#m] along Ingram's greenest hills,
[C#] Your candles burned [B] out long before your [A] legend ever [E] will.
[F#m] [E]
[B] [A]
[E] [B]
[E] Loveliness we've lost, those empty [A] days, without your smile,
This torch we'll [E] always carry, for our nation's golden [A] child.
Even [E] though we try, [A] the truth brings us to tears,
All our words [E] cannot express, the joy you've brought us through [A] the years.
And [B] it seems to me, you've lived your life [E] like a candle in the [A] wind,
Never [E] fading with the sunset [B] when the rain set in.
And [A] your footsteps will always fall here, [C#m] along Ingram's greenest hills,
Your candles burned out [B] long before your [A] legend ever will.

[B] [A]
[E] [B]
[E] Goodbye Ingram's Rose, may you [A] ever grow in our hearts,
You were the grace [E] that placed us where lives were torn [A] apart.
[E] Goodbye Ingram's Rose, from the country [A] lost without your soul,
We'll miss the wings of [E] your compassion more than you will ever [A] know.
[B] And it seems to me, you've lived your life like [E] a candle in [A] the wind,
[E] Never fading with the sunset when [B] the rain set in.
And [A] your footsteps will always fall here, [C#m] along Ingram's greenest hills,
Your candles burned [B] out long before your [A] legend ever will.
