Chords

This version of "Done With Bonaprte" is based on the performance at the 2007 AVO Session which was performed I've done it here. NOTES: * The "G" chord played over the last syllable of the chorus ("-parte") is actually the 1st chord of the following instrumental. ** The last line of the outro slows down. [Intro] G C Am7 D G C Cmaj7 D G C Am7 D G Cadd9 D G [Instrumental] G C Am7 D G C Cmaj7 D G C Am7 D G Cadd9 D G [Verse 1]
      Em
We've paid in hell since Moscow burned

      G
These Cossacks tear us piece by piece

    D
Our dead are strewn a hundred leagues

       Cmaj7
Though death would be a sweet release

        Em
And our Grande Armée is dressed in rags

G
Frozen starving beggar band

     D
Like rats we steal each other's scraps

C                D            C    G
Fall to fighting hand to hand
[Chorus]
C
Save my soul from evil, Lord

G                   Em
Heal this soldier's heart

G                Am     
Trust in thee to keep me, Lord
C N.C G I'm done with Bona-parte [Instrumental] * C Am7 D G C Cmaj7 D G C Am7 D G Cadd9 D G [Verse 2]
     Em
What dreams he made for us to dream

G
Spanish skies, Egyptian sands

    D
The world was ours, we marched upon

    Cmaj7
Our little Corporal's command

      Em
And I lost an eye at Austerlitz

    G
The sabre slash yet gives me pain

   D
My one true love awaits me still

    C             D           C     G
The flower of the aquitaine
[Chorus]
C
Save my soul from evil, Lord

G                   Em
Heal this soldier's heart

     G                Am     
I'll trust in thee to keep me, Lord
C N.C G I'm done with Bona-parte [Instrumental] * C Am7 D G C Cmaj7 D G C Am7 D G Cadd9 D G [Verse 3]
  Em
I pray for her who prays for me

  G
A safe return to my belle France

   D
We prayed these wars would end all wars

   C
In war we know is no romance

Em
Pray our child will never see

  G
A little corporal again

D
Point toward a foreign shore

C             D               C     G
Captivate the hearts of men
[Chorus]
C
Save my soul from evil, Lord

G                   Em
Heal this soldier's heart

          G                Am     
Well I'll trust in thee to keep me, Lord
