VICTORIA- The Kinks

G   D G C G D G
      D             G
Long ago life was clean
         C         G
Sex was bad and obscene
         D            G
And the rich were so mean
         D             G
Stately homes for the Lords
          C              G
Croquet lawns, village greens
      D           G
Victoria was my queen

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

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 ...CHORUS TWICE

BRIDGE:
Em                  D
Land of hope and gloria
  D            C
Land of my Victoria
Em                 D
Land of hope and gloria
  D            C
Land of my Victoria
     D      G
Victoria, toria

SOLO (OVER VERSE CHORDS)
CHORUS (hold the first two "Victoria"s longer)

Canada to India
Australia to Cornwall
Singapore to Hong Kong
From the West to the East
From the rich to the poor
Victoria loved them all ...CHORUS
  G    D   Em  Bm     D             G
Victoria, Victoria, Victoria---------
