VERSE:
      D           G              C         G
Long ago life was clean, sex was bad and obscene
        D            G
And the rich were so mean
        D             G              C              G
Stately homes for the lords, croquet lawns, village greens
       D        G
Victoria was my queen


CHORUS:
   G   D     Em  Bm        D       G
Victoria, Victoria, Victoria, 'toria


VERSE:
I was born, lucky me, in a land that I love
Though I am poor, I am free
When I grow I shall fight for this land I shall die
Let her sun never set


[repeat CHORUS]  [x2]


BRIDGE:
E                D                     C
Land of hope and gloria, land of my Victoria
E                D                     C
Land of hope and gloria, land of my Victoria
       D       G
Victoria, 'toria

VERSE:
Canada to India, Australia to Cornwall

Victoria loved them all...
