Strumming
Capo: 5
Tuning: E A D G B E
This version of "Done With Bonaprte" is based on the performance at the 2007 AVO Session which was performed
in C. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KPO02BvAu6g
Both Mark Knopfler and his acoustic guitarist played the song in G with the capo on the 5th fret, which is how
I've done it here.
NOTES:
* The "G" chord played over the last syllable of the chorus ("-parte") is actually the 1st chord of the
following instrumental.
** The last line of the outro slows down.

[Verse 1]
We've Empaid in hell since Moscow burned
These GCossacks tear us piece by piece
Our Ddead are strewn a hundred leagues
Though Cmaj7death would be a sweet release
And our EmGrande Armée is dressed in rags
GFrozen starving beggar band
Like Drats we steal each other's scraps
CFall to fighting Dhand to hand C G
[Chorus]
CSave my soul from evil, Lord
GHeal this soldier's Emheart
GTrust in thee to Amkeep me, Lord
I'm Cdone N.C with Bona-Gparte

[Verse 2]
What Emdreams he made for us to dream
GSpanish skies, Egyptian sands
The Dworld was ours, we marched upon
Our Cmaj7little Corporal's command
And I Emlost an eye at Austerlitz
The Gsabre slash yet gives me pain
My Done true love awaits me still
The Cflower of the Daquitaine C G
[Chorus]
CSave my soul from evil, Lord
GHeal this soldier's Emheart
I'll Gtrust in thee to Amkeep me, Lord
I'm Cdone N.C with Bona-Gparte

[Verse 3]
I Empray for her who prays for me
A Gsafe return to my belle France
We Dprayed these wars would end all wars
In Cwar we know is no romance
EmPray our child will never see
A Glittle corporal again
DPoint toward a foreign shore
CCaptivate the Dhearts of men C G
[Chorus]
CSave my soul from evil, Lord
GHeal this soldier's Emheart
Well I'll Gtrust in thee to Amkeep me, Lord
I'm Cdone N.C with Bona-Gparte
