Done With Bonaparte Chords by Mark Knopfler

Done With Bonaparte chords by Mark Knopfler

Guitar chords with lyrics

  • Capo on 5th
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 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.

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

Trust in thee to keep me, Lord

I'm done   with Bona-parte

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

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
