_ _ _ _ Oh Britannia, [B] drowning [F#] in your waves With a body of the unknown [B] soldier and the
[F#] rest of the brave [D#m] Oh [A#m] I have known you [B] ever since I [F#] was a child
_ [A#m] [D#m] Come you don't salute [B] me now, and [F#] then I smile
[C#] _ [F#] You was always so [G#] young, [F#] and on all of that money
How come these mornings [B] pass you by and think [F#] it so funny
[D#m] I'll be [A#m] there with you, but [B] I'm chained to [F#] this stake
[A#m] For I [D#m] am [A#m] loyalty, [B] my [C#] master cannot [F#] forsake
[G#] _ _ [B] _ _
[F#] _ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
[F#] _ _ I looked down on a bunch of [B] musemans, I looked [F#] down walls
I looked [G#] down hangings on [B] parade city [F#] halls
[D#m] And I [A#m] seen love in [B] so many living [F#] _ [A#m] wombs
And I seen rich men slowly [B] die beside their [F#] tombs
[C#] I know we're [D#m] just two charms, [G#] Britannia on [C#] my [A#m] mind
Faith [D#m] in me I said, [B] now look at [C#] time
I know [D#m] you're just a victim [G#] of your [C#] history
[A#m] Trust [D#m] in me I said, [B] and you would be [F#] free
_ You [B] _ _ [F#] _ _
_ _ [G#] _ _ [B] _ _ [F#] _ _
pull [G#] me up, _ [B] and you pull [F#] me down _
And when [B] the queen's in residence, I hang [F#] around
[A#m]
[D#m] I don't [A#m] wave madly, [B] cause the climate's [F#] civilized
[A#m] I just flutter sadly, cause [B] I'm old [C#] and I'm wise
[F#] You've been up, [G#] _ [B] and you've [F#] been down
You've been through many [B] things, I know you've been [F#] around _
[D#m] I [A#m] have thought of this for [B] you in the confluence [F#] of the past
[A#m] _ [D#m] Britannia, I implore [B] you, do [C#] not lower me [F#] by [C] hand
