Napoleon Sheds His Skin Chords

(ver. 1)
Tom Cochrane
[Intro]
Em  C  (2x)
 
[Verse 1]
Em                                    D
The streets are covered in chalk, the shops are boarded up
Em                                         D
The bodies are carried back down from the square.
Em                           D
He begins to wonder, if it always was this hot
Em                                       D
or is it just the clothes that he now wears?
 
[Chorus]
Em         C        G           C                      D
Napoleon sheds his skin in the summer when the sun is high
Em       C            G             D
He never knew when to quit when to stop
     Em                C
or when to say die.
 
[Verse 2]
Em                                    D
Pick the bones, get a tan, or wander underground
Em                                    D
She would not have left him anyway
Em
Wait by the sea, wait in the sun
D
As if the time stood still
Em
Did he get involved
                       D
in whichever side that paid?
 
[Chorus]
Em         C        G           C                      D
Napoleon sheds his skin in the summer when the sun is high
Em       C            G             D
He never knew when to quit when to stop
     Em              D
or when to say die.
 
[Bridge]
Em         D
Napoleon!

C  D  Em
C  D  Em
 
C                                                   Em
Ohhh..The time stands still behind the distant gates
   C                           Em
Time moves on outside in the sun
C                                        Em
Then he wonders which side he's really on
C
But he doesn't care, it's all gray in there
D
and he just wants to get back to her
 
[Chorus]
Em         C        G           C                      D
Napoleon sheds his skin in the summer when the sun is high
Em       C            G             D
He never knew when to quit when to stop
     Em              D
or when to say die.
Em         C        G           C
She waits for him by the wharf by the sea
D
Where they used to go
Em       C            G
She sings a song that they'd sing
D                         Em
then she waits for the echo...
C                       Em
Napoleon...sheds his skin
C                       Em
Napoleon...sheds his skin
C                       Em
Napoleon...sheds his skin
