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)
INTERLUDE

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)

C7 F
They were there (at the coronation)
C7 F
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
They were there (at the coronation)
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)
