Battle Of Waterloo

Am7   D   Am7   D

[Verse]
Am              G       C                  G
Spring comes to Kirrie, all the world's in bloom
C            D                    C       D
Winter is forgiven now, fooled by April's broom
Am         G       C               G
Kirrie, oh Kirrie, you were aye my hame
       Am7             G                D
'Til Napoleon's bloody cannon hit their aim

[Verse]
Am         G       C           G
Jeanie, oh Jeanie, I am surely done
C                D                      C       D
Stricken down in battle at the mooth o' Boney's guns
Am         G       C                G
Jeanie, oh Jeanie, aye sae dear tae me
       Am7            G            D
Let me hold you in my mind afore I dee

[Chorus]
        Am              G                C
For the cold returns in autumn, when the wind rakes the trees
        Am7            F           G
And the summer lies forgotten in a cold bed of leaves
            F                     Dm   C           G
As winter begins, aye, mind Boney,  it wasn't only you
        Am7           G             D
Who was broken on the field of Waterloo

[Verse]
Am          G        C               G
Surgeon, oh surgeon, leave me wi' my pain
C                   D                      C     D
Save your knife for others who will surely rise again
Am          G        C                 G
Surgeon, oh surgeon, leave my blood to pour
       Am7            G                D
Let it drain into the bitter clay once more

[Chorus]
        Am              G                C
For the cold returns in autumn, when the wind rakes the trees
        Am7            F           G
And the summer lies forgotten in a cold bed of leaves
            F                     Dm   C           G
As winter begins, aye, mind Boney,  it wasn't only you
        Am7           G             D
Who was broken on the field of Waterloo

[Verse]
Am           G         C               G
Daughter, oh daughter, listen dear tae me
C           D                  C        D
Never wed a sodger, or a widow you will be
Am           G         C                 G
Daughter, oh daughter, curse your lad to die
        Am7           G                   D
'Ere he catches the recruitin' sergeant's eye

[Chorus]
        Am              G                C
For the cold returns in autumn, when the wind rakes the trees
        Am7            F           G
And the summer lies forgotten in a cold bed of leaves
            F                     Dm   C           G
As winter begins, aye, mind Boney,  it wasn't only you
        Am7           G             D
Who was broken on the field of Waterloo

[Verse]
Am        G      C                G
Boney, oh Boney, war was aye your game
C                 D             C        D
Bloody field your table, cannon yours to aim
Am        G      C                G
Boney, oh Boney, we aye lived the same
         Am7            G                 D
Drillin' laddies not to fear the muskets' flame

[Chorus]
        Am              G                C
For the cold returns in autumn, when the wind rakes the trees
        Am7            F           G
And the summer lies forgotten in a cold bed of leaves
            F                     Dm   C           G
As winter begins, aye, mind Boney,  it wasn't only you
        Am7           G             D
Who was broken on the field of Waterloo

[Chorus]
        Am              G                C
For the cold returns in autumn, when the wind rakes the trees
        Am7            F           G
And the summer lies forgotten in a cold bed of leaves
            F                     Dm   C           G
As winter begins, aye, mind Boney,  it wasn't only you
        Am7           G             D
Who was broken on the field of Waterloo
