Soldiers of the Queen written by Leslie Stuart
Eb
Britons once did loyalty declaim
Bb7 Eb
About the way we ruled the waves
Every Briton's song was just the same
D7 Gm
When singing of our soldier-braves
Bb7 Eb
All the world had heard it - wondered why we sang
Bb7 Eb
And some have learned the reason why
F Eb F
But we're not forgetting it, and we're not letting it
Bb F7 Bb F7 Bb
Fade away and gradually die
Bb F7 Bb F7 Bb
Fade away and gradually die
Eb Bb
So when we say that England's master
Bb7
Remember who has made her so.
Eb Bb7/Eb
It's the soldiers of the Queen, my lads
Bb Eb
Who've been my lads, who've seen my lads
Cm Gm
In the fight for England's glory, lads
Bb Fm7 Bb7
Of its world wide glory let us sing
Eb Bb7
And when we say we've always won
Eb
And when they ask us how it's done
Bb7
We'll proudly point to every one
Eb
Of England's soldiers of the Queen.
