Intro 1
(G major) (D major) (G major) (D major)
It (A major) (D major) was (A major) (G major)
Verse 1
(D major)
over that wild beaten track (A major)
Who (D major) set a (G major) friend of (D major) bone apart
(A major) It (G major) paced the sands and lofty (D major) rocks
Of St Helen (G major) a's (A major) shore.
The (D major) wind it blew a (G major) hurricane,
(A major) The (G major) lightnings flashed around (D major) it (A major) dart,
The (G major) seagulls were (D major) a -screamin'
And the (G major) waves around (A major) it (D major) roar.
Oh, how (G major) shrewd (D major) wins the stranger (G major) (D major) cried
As I ranged (G major) o 'er the dreary spot
(A major) Where (D major) once our (A major) gallant (G major) hero
(D major) Did (G major) heavy (A major) eyelids (D major) close
And though (G major) at (D major) peace his bones (G major) do (D major) rot
His name will never be (G major) (D major) for (A major) got
This grand (G major) conversa (A major) tion
on Na (D major) poleon arose
This grand (A major) conversa (G major) tion on (D major) great
Bona (A major) parte (G major) arose (D major) (G major) (D major)
(A major) Oh, (G major) (D major) the stranger cried, (A major)
(G major) Why did you persecute that (D major) hero (A major) bold?
(G major) Far better had you (D major) slain him
On the plains of (G major) Water (A major) loo.
For Na (D major) poleon he (G major) was a (A major) friend
To (G major) heroes both (D major) young and (A major) old
He (G major) forced the money for (D major) to fly
Wherever (G major) he (A major) did (D major) go
When plans (G major) (D major) would form in night (G major) an (D major) d day
The boat commander to (G major) be (A major) tray
He (G major) said, (D major) I'll (A major) go to (G major) Moscow,
(D major) and (G major) that'll ease (A major) (D major) me woes
If fortun (G major) e smiles (D major) on
me (G major) that day (D major)
When all the world shall (G major) me obey (D major)
(A major) This grand (G major) conversa (A major) tion of
Na (D major) poleon (A major) arose (D major)
This grand (A major) con (D major) versa (G major) tion of (D major) Brave (G major)
Bona (A major) parte (G major) arose (D major) (G major) (D major)
(A major) There's (D major) many thousands (G major) that arise
(A major) To (G major) conquer Moscow by (D major) sur (A major) prise
Like (G major) Hannibal he (A major) crossed the (D major) Alps
Oppressed by (G major) frost and (A major) snow
An (G major) d (D major) being on the Russian land, (A major)
he (G major) soon began to (D major) open his (A major) eyes
But (G major) Moscow was (D major) a -blazing,
and the (G major) men drove (A major) to and fro
(D major) Napoleon
(G major) (D major) Dauntless viewed (G major) the plain, (D major)
and then in anguish (G major) at the (A major) same
He cried, (D major) re (A major) treat me (G major) gallant (D major) men,
for (G major) time so (A major) quickly goes, (D major)
What thousand (G major) s died
(D major) in that (G major) re (D major) treat,
And forced them their horses (G major) for (D major) to (A major) eat.
This grand (G major) conversation (A major) on
Na (D major) poleon (A major) arose, (D major)
This grand (A major) conversa (G major) tion on (D major) brave (G major) Bona
(A major) parte arose. (G major) (A major) (G major) (A major) (G major) (A major) (G major) (A major)
At (D major) Waterloo they bravely fought
(A major) Com (B minor) manded (G major) by this (D major) Bonaparte
(A major) Field (G major) Marshal made it (A major) in betray
(D major) For he was (G major) bribed (A major) by gold
When (D major) Blucher led the Prussi (A major) ans in
It (B minor) merely broke (G major) Na (D major) poleon's (A major) heart
He (G major) cried, me 30 ,000 (D major) men
are (G major) lost and (A major) I am sold
(D major) He viewed the plane and he cried,
(G major) all (D major) is lost
And then his favourite char (G major) ger (A major) crossed
The plain (D major) was (A major) in con (G major) fusion
(D major) With (G major) dead and (A major) dying woes
(D major) And the bunch (G major) of (D major) roses did (G major) ad vance
(D major) And quickly entered (G major) in (D major) to France (A major)
This (G major) grand conversa (A major) tion
on Na (D major) poleon (A major) arose
(D major) This grand (A major) conversa (G major) tion (D major)
Break (G major) s bone apart (A major) (G major) the bones (A major) (G major) (D major) (A major) (G major) (D major) (A major) (G major) (A major) (G major)
(A major) (G major) (D major) (A major)
(G major) (D major) (A major) (G major) (A major) (G major) (A major) (D major) (A major) (B minor) (G major)
(A major) (Asus4) (A major) (G major) (D major)
(G major) (D major) (A major)
This (D major) bonaparte was planned to (A major) be
A (G major) prisoner across (D major) the sea, (A major)
the (G major) rocks of St Helen (D major) a
It was his (G major) fi nal spot, (A major)
a (D major) prisoner there (G major) to (A major) be
(G major) Till death did end his (D major) misery,
(A major) his (G major) son soon followed af (D major) ter
It (G major) was an (A major) awful (D major) plot
and long (G major) enough (D major) as they've (G major) been (D major) dead
The curse of war around (G major) us (A major) spread
And (D major) may our (A major) shipping float (G major) again (D major)
to find (G major) the (A major) daring foe (D major)
And now (G major) me boys,
(D major) when honour (G major) call (D major) s,
We're bowling out those (G major) wooden (A major) walls.
This (G major) grand conversa (A major) tion on
Na (D major) poleon (A major) the (D major) Rose,
This grand (A major) conversa (G major) tion of (D major) brave (G major) boulder
(A major) particles. (D major) (A major) (G major) (D major) (A major) (G major) (D major) (A major) (G major) (D major)
