[Optional intro]
G C F G7 Oh, Napoleon Bonaparte, you're the cause of my woe G7 C Am F G Since my bonny light horseman to the wars he did go
[Verse 1]
G C F G7 When Boney commanded his armies to stand G7 C F G Am He levelled his cannons right over the land Am G F C G7 He levelled his cannons the victory to gain G7 C F Am G And he slew my light horseman on the way coming in
[Chorus]
G C F G7 Broken hearted I'll wander, broken hearted I'll remain G7 C F G Am Since my bonny light horseman in the wars he was slain
[Verse 2]
G C F G7 And if I was a small bird and had wings to fly G7 C F G Am I would fly over the salt sea where my true love does lie Am G F C G7 And with my fond wings I'd beat right over his grave G7 C F Am G And I'd kiss the pale lips that lie cold in the clay
[Chorus]
G C F G7 Broken hearted I'll wander, broken hearted I'll remain G7 C F G Am Since my bonny light horseman in the wars he was slain
[Verse 3]
G C F G7 The dove she laments for her mate as she flies G7 C F G Am "Tell me where, ah, tell me where is my true love?" she sighs Am G F C G7 "And where in the wide world is there one to compare G7 C F Am G With my bonny light horseman who was killed in the war?"
[Optional ending]
G C F G7 Oh, Napoleon Bonaparte, you're the cause of my woe G7 C Am F G Since my bonny light horseman to the wars he did go G C F G7 Broken hearted I'll wander, broken hearted I'll remain G7 C F G Am Since my bonny light horseman in the wars he was slain
