From Wellington and Waterloo - Added Verses / Chorus

derryk4real

Thanks to your comments and recommendations i have added some Verses and a Chorus.

I hope the Strumming pattern helps to find the Style i have in mind. Play it sloppy and a lil bit faster on Guitar.

Is it clear for the reader, who i mean in Verse 4 and 6? Both times Napoleon is meant, but i could not work his name into the lines. Or do i overthink here and it does not matter that much?

Thank you in advance and have a nice day !!!

 

Verse: I – V – vi – IV

          C – G – Am – F

 

Chorus: vi – I – V – IV

           Am – C – G – F

[Verse 1]

I can not read or write so well,

But what I can, I can tell,

A Story and a Joke or two,

From Wellington and Waterloo

 

[Verse 2]

The Story goes, just like this,

Napoleon got a Kiss,

From Helena, the Saint, the Mother,

Her Lips taste, like no other

 

[Chorus]

Wellington, the only man,

Who could deal, with Napoleon

Formidable, he was a knight

Not once but twice, he won the fight

 

[Verse 3]

At 11 hundred, the Battle began,

To weaken Wellington, that was his plan

The slaughter went on, for hours on end

Which of his Troops, he`s gonna send?

 

[Verse 4]

In deep desperation, he storms the front

Just to pull back, this crazy stunt

The Moment of truth, he puts them in

Best of the best, his finest men

 

[Chorus]

Wellington, the only man,

Who could deal, with Napoleon

Formidable, he was a knight

Not once but twice, he won the fight

 

[Verse 5]

The Battle was lost, the Show was over,

There was no Ship, back to Dover

100 Days, well that`s enough,                                                     

Wellington got sick of it and called the bluff

 

[Verse 6]

Many say and I believe,

In Exile, he groomed his grief

The loss of course, he blamed on others

Many have died, sons and fathers.

 

[Chorus]

Wellington, the only man,

Who could deal, with Napoleon

Formidable, he was a knight

Not once but twice, he won the fight

 

[Outro]

I will it say, cause this is true

War itself, it`s just pooh

Let this be a lore to you

Very cool lyrics about historical happenings in Europe @derryk4real! How many beats per minute do you use for the tempo?

I think my favorite lines are in verse 6:

Many say and I believe,

In Exile, he groomed his grief

The loss of course, he blamed on others

Many have died, sons and fathers.

'groomed his grief' is clever and unique. Nice work! 😀

Cheers,
