Now Boney''''s away from his warring and fighting
G C D G C
He has gone to a place where nought can delight him
G D Em C G D
He may sit now and tell__ of the sights he has seen of
G D Em C D G C G C G
While forlorn he does mourn on the Isle of St. Helena
[Verse]
G C D G C
No more in St. Claude will he appear in great splendour
G C D G C
Nor step forth from the crowd like the great Alexander
G D Em C G D
He may look to the east__, while he thinks on Lucana
G D Em C D G C G C G
With his heart full of woe__ on the Isle of St. Helena
[Verse]
G C D G C
The wild, rushing waves ''''round our shores, they''''re a-washing
G C D G C
And the white billows heave on our rocks, they''''re a-lashing
G D Em C G D
He may look o''''er the main__ to the great Mount Diana

With his eyes on the waves__ that surround St. Helena

[Verse]
G C D G C
Louise as she weeps, from her husband is parted
G C D G C
And she dreams while she sleeps and awakes broken-hearted
G D Em C G D
There is none to console her, though there''''s many would be with her
G D Em C D G C G C G
While alone she does mourn when she thinks of St. Helena
[Verse]
G C D G C
So all you that have wealth, beware of ambition
G C D G C
For there''''s some twist of fate could soon change your condition
G D Em C G D
Be steadfast in time__, what''''s to come, change you cannot
G D Em C D G C G C G
For maybe your race will end__ on the Isle of St. Helena
