Chords with lyrics
This version of "Done With Bonaprte" is based on the performance at the 2007 AVO Session which was performed
in C. See https://www.youtube.com/watch v=KPO02BvAu6g
Both Mark Knopfler and his acoustic guitarist played the song in G+G with the capo on the 5th fret, which is how
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.
