Jewel In the Crown Fairport Convention
D A D G A
We are a proud land, we stand for freedom
D A D G A
we've got the franchise, on how to lead them
D G D G
we've got the history, and books to prove it
D G D G A
give us the mountain, and we will move it
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 A A D
we are Britania, jewel in the crown
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 G
we are Britania
G D
we crowned an empire
D A
we came and conqured
A D G
we tore thier borders down
D G
we need no conscience
G D
god is on our side
D A
we are Britania
A G D
jewel in the crown
(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
