            C                    F
Well let me tell you, Ladies and Gents
            C                     F
I enjoyed myself to my heart's content
            C                F
I could not follow the procession 
                   C             F
But I was there to see the coronation
             C7           F
I was there (at the coronation)
             C7           F
I was there (at the coronation)


               C                F
I took up my position at Marble Arch
                 C                    F
From the night before just to see the march 
                   C                     F
The night wind was blowing, freezing and cold
              C                      F
But I held my ground like a young Creole
             C7           F
I was there (at the coronation)
             C7           F
I was there (at the coronation)


         C                   F
My stoic stand soon paid dividends
               C                 F
For I saw them coming around the bend
          C                    F
Then I perceived in all her glory
           C                   F
The golden coach with Her Majesty
               C7           F
She was there (at the coronation)
             C7           F
I was there (at the coronation)

         C                  F
Her Majesty looked really divine
               C                  F
In her crimson robe furred with ermine
                C                   F
The Duke of Edinburgh dignified and neat
                  C              F
Sat beside her as Admiral of the Fleet
              C7           F
He was there (at the coronation)
             C7           F
I was there (at the coronation)


             C                   F
One thousand guardsmen marching ahead
               C                    F
Physicians and surgeons all in good stead
              C             F
All the Lords of the Admiralty
               C                 F
The War Office and the Air Ministry 
                 C7           F
They were there (at the coronation)
             C7           F
I was there (at the coronation)

      C               F
Navy, Army, Royal Air Force
                  C                 F
Chiefs of staff, United Kingdom, of course
          C                             F
The Royal Horse Guards we had chance to see
             C              F
Escorted the Household Cavalry
                 C7           F
They were there (at the coronation)
             C7           F
I was there (at the coronation)

I was there (at the coronation)

                    C           F
The procession was about 50,000 strong
                      C                 F
It stretched for much more than 6 miles long
            C                F
Millions of people, all happily
               C                   F
Shouting three cheers for Her Majesty

             C7           F
I was there (at the coronation)


                 C                F
As I stood there looking rapturously
              C                F
A feeling of elation came over me
            C                    F
I felt what pleasure such beauty give
                 C                F
I shall never forget as long as I live
             C7           F
I was there (at the coronation)
               C7           F
We were there (at the coronation)
             C7           F
I was there (at the coronation)
                C7           F
Millions there (at the coronation)
