Plains Of Waterloo chords by
June Tabor
June Tabor

N/A
Verse 1
Em

As I rode out one fine
D#

summer's morning
Em
F#m

Down by the gerbanks of
D#

a clear purling stream
Em

Their eyes spied a handsome fair maid

making sad lamentations

Oh, I threw myself in ambush to
D#
Em

hear her sad strains

Through the woods she marched alone,

caused the valleys to wring

Oh, the fine feathered songsters

around her they flew

Sayin' the wars they are all over and

peace it is restored again

But yet my will is not returnin'

from the plains of

Waterloo

Well I stepped up to this fair maiden

said my fond creature

Oh, may I make so bold as to ask

you true love's name?

For it's I who've been in battle where
A
Em

the cannons around do rattle
F#m

And by some strange fortune I
Em

might have known the same

Well, he smiths me true love's name,

he's hero of great fame

He's gone and he's left me in sorrow,

it's true
A
Em

No one shall me enjoy but
E
A
Em

me own darling boy

But yet he's not returning
F#m
E
Em

from the plains of
F#m

Waterloo
Em

Well, if

Willie
A

Smith's your true love's name
Em
A

He's a hero of great fame
Em

He and I have been in battle through

many a long campaign

Through

Italy and

Russia, through

Germany and

Prussia

Always was my loyal comrade

through

France and through

Spain

Until over the length by the

French we were surrounded

Like the heroes of old, we did them subdue

We did fight for three days, until we did

defeat him

That brave

Napoleon, bony on the plains of

Waterloo

Now the 18th day of

June it is end at the battle
G
Em

Leaving many's no bolt here

o 'er to sigh and to mourn

All the war drums they did beat and

the cannons around did rattle

It was by a

French soldier your will he was slain

And as I passed by,

oh, where he lay bleeding,

Oh, I scarcely had time

for to bid him adieu.

In a faltering voice these words

he was repeating,
D#
Em

Fare thee well, my lovely

Annie,

He was far from

Waterloo
F#m
Em

Now when this lovely fair maid heard this

odd acclamation

Oh, her two rosy cheeks

turned pale into one

And when I saw this fair maid

making sad lamentations

Oh, I said, me lovely honey,
Em

I am that very one.

And here is the ring that

was broken between us,
Em

In the midst of all danger,

love, to remind me of you.

And when she saw the token,
Em

she fell into me arms, crying,

You're welcome, dearest, and worthy

From the plains of

Waterloo

  • Best Tuning App Ever

    MaddProfessor

    I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

  • Well-Designed App

    Rose the Black Cat

    I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

  • Got me back into playing

    Tuliketsune

    I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

  • Secret weapon

    Brad

    Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

  • Very reliable tuner

    theNewPaul

    This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

  • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

    Caleb Schafli

    It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

  • Great to tune and play

    Lynae T

    I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
