The Bonny Light Horseman

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
