THE GRAVE OF BONAPARTE

Traditional, Arr. N. & N. Blake

G C D

On a lone, barren isle, where the wild, roaring billows

G D

Assail the stern rock and the loud tempest raves,

G C G

The hero lies still where the dew drooping willows

C G D G

Like fond, weeping mourners, lean over his grave

D G C

The lightning may flash and the loud thunder rattle.

G D A D

He eats not, he hears not, he's free from all pain.

G C G

He sleeps his last sleep, he has fought his last battle.

C G D G

No sound can awake him to glory again.

C D G

No sound can awake him to glory again.

G C D

Oh shade of the mighty, where now are the legions

G D

That rushed but to conquer, when thou ledst them on?

G C G

Alas, they have perished in far hilly regions,

C G D G

And all, save the fame, of their triumph is gone.

D G C

The trumpet may sound and the loud cannon rattle.

G D A D

They eat not, they hear not, they're free from all pain.

G C G

They sleep their last sleep, they have fought their last battle.

C G D G

No sound can awake them to glory again.

C D G

No sound can awake them to glory again.

G C D

Yet, spirit immortal, the tomb cannot bind thee.

G D

For like thine own eagle, that soared to the Sun,

G C G

Thou springest from bondage, and leavest behind thee,

C G D G

A name which, before thee, no mortal had won.

D G C

Tho' nations may combat, and war's thunder rattle,

G D A D

No more on thy steed wilt thou sweep o'er the plain.

G C G

Thou sleep'st thy last sleep, thou hast fought thy last battle.

C G D G

No sound can awake thee to glory again.

C D G

No sound can awake thee to glory again.

See ya
