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---------
