       Em                      
We've paid in hell since Moscow burned
    G
As Cossacks tear us piece by piece
     D
Our dead are strewn a hundred leagues
        C
Though death would be a sweet release
          Em
And our grande armee is dressed in rags
    G
A frozen starving beggar band
      D
Like rats we steal each other's scraps
 C                D             D G
Fall to fighting hand to hand

 C
Save my soul from evil, Lord
     G                   Em
And heal this soldier's heart
       G               Am     
I'll trust in thee to keep me, Lord
     C           G       C  Am  D
I'm done with Bonaparte

      Em
What dreams he made for us to dream
     G
Spanish skies, Egyptian sands
       D
The world was ours, we marched upon
      C
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           D G
The flower of the aquitaine

 C
Save my soul from evil, Lord
     G                   Em
And heal this soldier's heart
       G               Am     
I'll trust in thee to keep me, Lord
     C           G       C  Am  D
I'm done with Bonaparte

   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
And I pray our child will never see
    G
A little Corporal again
 D
Point toward a foreign shore
C               D            D G
Captivate the hearts of men

 C
Save my soul from evil, Lord
     G                   Em
And heal this soldier's heart
       G               Am     
I'll trust in thee to keep me, Lord
     C           G       C  Am  D
I'm done with Bonaparte
