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  
 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  Gand 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
 CUndauEmnted, Cnever Emfailing Clo--Emve  for Byou EnglEmand
