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


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

What dreams he made for us to dream

Spanish skies, Egyptian sands
    E#
The world was ours, we marched upon
    
Our little Corporal's command
      
And I lost an eye at Austerlitz
    
The sabre slash yet gives me pain
   E#
My one true love awaits me still
    		  E#         E#  
The flower of the Aquitaine



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

I pray for her who prays for me
  
A safe return to my belle France
   E#
We prayed these wars would end all wars
   
In war we know is no romance
      
And I pray our child will never see
  
A little Corporal again
E#
Point toward a foreign shore
	      E#	     E#  
Captivate the hearts of men



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