[C#m]
[F#]
[C#m] [G#m] [C#] [F#]
[C#m] Spring comes [B] to [F#] Kitty, [B]
[E] all the [B] world's in bloom,
Winter is [F#] forgiven now, [B] fooled by [F#] April's bloom.
[C#m] Kitty, [B] oh Kitty, [E] you [B] were a' my name,
Till [C#m] [B] Napoleon's bloody cannon had [F#] done a'hame.
[E] Jeanne, oh [B] Jeanne, [E] I am [B] surely done,
Striking down [F#]
in battle at the mythoboney's guns.
[E] Jeanne, oh [F#] Jeanne, [B]
[E] I say [B] dear to me,
Let [F#] me [C#m] [B] hold you in my mind for [F#] I do.
For [C#m] the cold turns [B] in autumn when [E] the winter aches the [B] trees,
[C#m] And the summer [B] lies forgotten in the cold [F#] bed of leaves.
As winter [A] begins, I'm in bone [B] ache,
[E] It wasn't [B] only [F#] you who [C#m] was broken [B] on the fields of [F#]
Waterloo.
[C#m] Surgeon, [E] oh [F#] Surgeon, [B]
[E] leave me [B] tame my pain,
Save your knight [F#] for others who will [B] surely rise [F#] again.
[E] Surgeon, oh [F#] Surgeon, [B] [E] leave my [Bm] blood to [F#] pour,
Let that [C#m] [B] drain into the bitter clay [F#] once more.
For the [C#m] cold turns [B]
in autumn when [F#] the [E] winter aches the [B] trees,
And the [C#m] summer lies [A] forgotten [B] in [F#] the cold bed of leaves.
As [F#m] winter [A] begins, I'm in bone [B] ache,
[E] It wasn't [B] only you [F#] who was [C#m] broken [B] on the fields of [F#] Waterloo.
[B] [C#m] Daughter, [F#] oh Daughter, [B] [E] listen [B] dear to me,
Never wed [F#] a soldier or a [B] widow you [F#] will be.
[C#m] Daughter, [F#] oh Daughter, [B]
[E] curse your [B] lot to die,
[F#] And he [C#m] catches [B] her a-cookin' [F#] Sergeant's eye.
For the [C#m] cold [B] turns in autumn when [F#] the [E] winter aches the [B] trees,
And the [C#m] summer lies [A] forgotten in [B] the [F#] cold bed of leaves.
[G#m] As [F#m] winter [A] begins, I'm in bone [B] ache,
[E] It wasn't [B] only you [F#] who was [C#m] broken [B] on the fields of [F#] Waterloo.
[B] [F#]
[C#m] Oh, nay, oh, [B] bonay,
[E] what was [B] I your game?
Bloody field, [F#] your table,
[B] cannon, [F#] your's to aim.
[C#m] Oh, nay, [B] oh, bonay, [E] we high [B]
live the [F#] same,
Drilling [C#m] [B] laddies not to fear the [F#] musket's flame.
For the [C#m] cold [B] turns in autumn when [E] the winter aches the [B] trees,
And the [C#m] summer lies [B] forgotten in the cold bed [F#] of leaves.
[B] As winter [F#m] [A] begins, I'm in bone [B] ache,
[E] It wasn't [B] only you [F#] who was [C#m] broken on the [B] fields of [F#] Waterloo.
For the [C#m] cold turns [B] in autumn [E] when the winter aches the [B] trees,
And the summer [C#m]
lies [B] forgotten in the [F#] cold bed [G#m] of leaves.
As [F#m] winter begins, I'm in bone [B] ache,
[E] It wasn't [Bm] only [F#] you who [C#m] was broken [B] on the fields of [F#] Waterloo.
