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

Land of hope and gloria

Land of my Victoria

Land of hope and gloria

Land of my Victoria
