Verse 1
(G major) (D major) (G major) (C major) (D major) (G major) On (D major) the eighteenth
(G major) day of (D major) June,
mid boys, eighteen (C major) hundred (D major) an d fif (G major) teen,
Both horse and foot they did ad (C major) vance,
most (G major) glorious (D major) to be seen.
Both (G major) horse and foot they did ad (C major) vance
And the (G major) bugle (D major) -horn did blow
Where the sons of (G major) France we
(D major) made to (G major) dance
On the (C major) plains of (D major) Waterloo (G major)
(D major) Our cavalry (G major) ad vanced
(D major) With a (C major) true and a (D major) valiant (G major) heart
Our infantry and artillery
(C major) did (G major) boldly play their (D major) parts
While the small (G major) arms they did rattle
(C major) and (D major) the great guns they did roar
All (G major) on the plains (D major) of Waterloo
(C major) where the thundering cannons (D major) roar (G major)
The (D major) French (G major) dogs (D major) made a bold attack
(C major) in front of Mount (D major) St John
(G major) Threw on (D major) their best (G major) bat (C major) talions
for (D major) the village (G major) fort (D major) to gain
Our (C major) in (G major) fantry first charged (C major) them,
then (G major) made them face a (D major) bout
Sir William, (G major) with his (D major) heavy bri (C major) gade,
soon put them (D major) to the rout. (G major) (D major)
(G major) Na poleon, (D major) like a bantam (G major) cock,
sat (C major) mounted (D major) on (G major) a bar.
He much did wish to repres (C major) ent
Great (G major) Mars, the (D major) god of war.
(G major) On a high platform there he did (C major) stand,
and (D major) loudly he did crow
He drooped his wings
and turned (C major) his tail to us at Wa (D major) terloo
(G major) The valiant Duke of (D major) Brunswick (E minor)
fell (C major) in the (D major) field that (G major) day
And many a gallant officer (C major)
fell (G major) in the (D major) awful fray
And (G major) many a (C major) British sol (G major) dier (C major)
lay (G major) wounded in their (D major) gore
All (G major) on the plains (D major) of Water (C major) loo
where the thundering (D major) cannons (G major) roar
On (D major) the (G major) 18th day of June,
(D major) mere boys, (G major) 1815, (C major) (D major) (G major)
Both (D major) horse and foot (G major) they did advance,
(C major) (D major) Most glorious to be seen.
Both horse (C major) and foot they did advance,
And (D major) the bugle horn did blow,
Where the sons of France remain to (E minor) dance
On the (C major) plains (D major) of Waterloo (G major) (D major)
