Jewel in the Crown Fairport Convention
Jewel In the Crown Fairport Convention
[D]We are a prou[A]d land, [D]we stand for fre[G]edo[A]m
[D]we've got the f[A]ranchise, [D]on how to l[G]ead t[A]hem
[D]we've got the h[G]istory, [D]and books to p[G]rove it
[D]give us the m[G]ountain, [D]and we will [G]move i[A]t
we rule the waves, and, the seven seas, we
bring the mighty, to thier knees
we offer hope, and inspiration
a fine example, to lesser nations
[D]we are Br[A]itania, j[A]ewel in the cr[D]own
we brought a system, to the masses
divide a nation, into classes
it's in our breeding, and on our faces,
at least we're all born, knowing our places
we stay within our, social borders
we only take what, our class affords us
it doesn't matter, that it's not even
this is the nature, of the demon
we are Britania, jewel in the crown
(chorous)
[D]we are Br[G]itania
[G]we crowned an em[D]pire
[D]we came and co[A]nqured
[A]we tore thier b[D]orders d[G]own
[D]we need no consc[G]ience
[G]god is on our s[D]ide
[D]we are Brit[A]ania
[A]jewel in t[G]he cr[D]own
(short bridge)
we are your friendly, liberators
we'll free you countries, from your dictators
for a small slice, of your oil wells
we'll send our boys in, with thier bombshells
we are a refuge, for the needy
always caring, never greedy
whatever gesture, could be finer
we've given Hong Kong, back to China
we are Britania, jewel in the crown
(chorous)
jewel in the crown
jewel in the crown
jewel in the crown
