Tom: G
G
Oh, Napoleon Bonaparte, you're the cause of my woe
C G Am7 D
Since my bonny light horseman to the wars he did go
G
Broken hearted I'll wander, broken hearted I'll remain
C G Am7 Em
Since my bonny light horseman in the wars he was slain
[Verse 1]
G
When Boney commanded his armies to stand
C G Am7 D
And proud lift his banners all gayly and grand
G
He levelled his cannons right over the plain
C G Am7 Em
And my bonny light horseman in the wars he was slain
[Chorus]
G
Oh, Napoleon Bonaparte, you're the cause of my woe
C G Am7 D
Since my bonny light horseman to the wars he did go
G
Broken hearted I'll wander, broken hearted I'll remain
C G Am7 Em
Since my bonny light horseman in the wars he was slain
[Verse 2]
G
And if I was some small bird and had wings and could fly
C G Am7 D
I would fly over the salt sea where my true love does lie
G
Three years and six months now, since he left this
Bright shore
C G Am7 Em
Oh, my bonny light horseman will I never see you more?
[Chorus]
G
Oh, Napoleon Bonaparte, you're the cause of my woe
C G Am7 D
Since my bonny light horseman to the wars he did go
G
Broken hearted I'll wander, broken hearted I'll remain
C G Am7 Em
Since my bonny light horseman in the wars he was slain
[Verse 3]
G
And the dove she laments for her mate as she flies
C G Am7 D
"Oh, where, tell me where is my true love?" she sighs
G
"And where in this wide world is there one to compare
C G Am7 Em
With my bonny light horseman who was killed in the war?"
[Chorus]
G
Oh, Napoleon Bonaparte, you're the cause of my woe
C G Am7 D
Since my bonny light horseman to the wars he did go
G
Broken hearted I'll wander, broken hearted I'll remain
C G Am7 Em
Since my bonny light horseman in the wars he was slain
