G+G
Oh, Napoleon Bonaparte, you're the cause of my woe
  C majorC        G+G          Am7Am7    D MajorD
Since my bonny light horseman to the wars he did go
   G+G
Broken hearted I'll wander, broken hearted I'll remain
  C majorC         G+G         Am7Am7     E minorEm
Since my bonny light horseman in the wars he was slain


   G+G
When Boney commanded his armies to stand
  C majorC       G+G       Am7Am7     D MajorD
And proud lift his banners all gayly and grand
  G+G
He levelled his cannons right over the plain
  C majorC        G+G        Am7Am7    E minorEm
And my bonny light horseman in the wars he was slain
   G+G
Oh, Napoleon Bonaparte, you're the cause of my woe
  C majorC         G+G        Am7Am7     D MajorD
Since my bonny light horseman to the wars he did go
  G+G
Broken hearted I'll wander, broken hearted I'll remain
   C majorC       G+G         Am7Am7     E minorEm
Since my bonny light horseman in the wars he was slain
  G+G
And if I was some small bird and had wings and could

Fly
   C majorC         G+G        Am7Am7
I would fly over the salt sea where my true love does
 D MajorD
Lie
  G+G
Three years and six months now, since he left this

Bright shore
   C majorC        G+G        Am7Am7    E minorEm
Oh, my bonny light horseman will I never see you more?
   G+G
Oh, Napoleon Bonaparte, you're the cause of my woe
    C majorC       G+G        Am7Am7     D MajorD
Since my bonny light horseman to the wars he did go
    G+G
Broken hearted I'll wander, broken hearted I'll remain
   C majorC       G+G         Am7Am7     E minorEm
Since my bonny light horseman in the wars he was slain
  G+G
And the dove she laments for her mate as she flies
   C majorC         G+G       Am7Am7     D MajorD
"Oh, where, tell me where is my true love?" she sighs
   G+G
"And where in this wide world is there one to compare
     C majorC     G+G         Am7Am7
With my bonny light horseman who was killed in the
 E minorEm
War?"
 G+G
Oh, Napoleon Bonaparte, you're the cause of my woe
     C majorC     G+G         Am7Am7    D MajorD
Since my bonny light horseman to the wars he did go
  G+G
Broken hearted I'll wander, broken hearted I'll remain
     C majorC     G+G        Am7Am7     E minorEm
Since my bonny light horseman in the wars he was slain
