[Verse]
AmGCG
Spring comes to Kirrie, all the world's in bloom
CDCD
Winter is forgiven now, fooled by April's broom
AmGCG
Kirrie, oh Kirrie, you were aye my hame
Am7GD
'Til Napoleon's bloody cannon hit their aim
[Verse]
AmGCG
Jeanie, oh Jeanie, I am surely done
CDCD
Stricken down in battle at the mooth o' Boney's guns
AmGCG
Jeanie, oh Jeanie, aye sae dear tae me
Am7GD
Let me hold you in my mind afore I dee
[Chorus]
AmGC
For the cold returns in autumn, when the wind rakes the trees
Am7FG
And the summer lies forgotten in a cold bed of leaves
FDmCG
As winter begins, aye, mind Boney, it wasn't only you
Am7GD
Who was broken on the field of Waterloo
[Verse]
AmGCG
Surgeon, oh surgeon, leave me wi' my pain
CDCD
Save your knife for others who will surely rise again
AmGCG
Surgeon, oh surgeon, leave my blood to pour
Am7GD
Let it drain into the bitter clay once more
[Chorus]
AmGC
For the cold returns in autumn, when the wind rakes the trees
Am7FG
And the summer lies forgotten in a cold bed of leaves
FDmCG
As winter begins, aye, mind Boney, it wasn't only you
Am7GD
Who was broken on the field of Waterloo
[Verse]
AmGCG
Daughter, oh daughter, listen dear tae me
CDCD
Never wed a sodger, or a widow you will be
AmGCG
Daughter, oh daughter, curse your lad to die
Am7GD
'Ere he catches the recruitin' sergeant's eye
[Chorus]
AmGC
For the cold returns in autumn, when the wind rakes the trees
Am7FG
And the summer lies forgotten in a cold bed of leaves
FDmCG
As winter begins, aye, mind Boney, it wasn't only you
Am7GD
Who was broken on the field of Waterloo
[Verse]
AmGCG
Boney, oh Boney, war was aye your game
CDCD
Bloody field your table, cannon yours to aim
AmGCG
Boney, oh Boney, we aye lived the same
Am7GD
Drillin' laddies not to fear the muskets' flame
[Chorus]
AmGC
For the cold returns in autumn, when the wind rakes the trees
Am7FG
And the summer lies forgotten in a cold bed of leaves
FDmCG
As winter begins, aye, mind Boney, it wasn't only you
Am7GD
Who was broken on the field of Waterloo
[Chorus]
AmGC
For the cold returns in autumn, when the wind rakes the trees
Am7FG
And the summer lies forgotten in a cold bed of leaves
FDmCG
As winter begins, aye, mind Boney, it wasn't only you
Am7GD
Who was broken on the field of Waterloo
