CHORUS

2 -2b 3 2 -2b 3
Wa-ter-loo, Wa-ter-loo,

-1 2 -2b -2b 2 -1 2 -2b
Where will you meet your Wa-ter-loo?

2 -2b 3 3 3 -3b 3
Ev-‘ry pup-py has its day,

-1 2 -1 1 1 1 1
ev-‘ry-bo-dy has to pay,

1 -1 2 2 2 1 -1 -1 2 -1 1
ev-‘ry-bo-dy has to meet his Wa-ter-loo.

VERSE 1

1 -1 2 2 1 1 -1 1 1 1 1
Now old A-dam was the first in his-to-ry,

1 -1 2 2 1 1 -1 -1 -1 2 -1
With an ap-ple he was temp-ted and de-ceived;

1 -1 2 1 1 1 -1 1 1 1 1
Just for spite, the de-vil made him take a bite,

1 -1 2 2 2 1 -1 -1 2 -1 1
And that’s where old Ad-am met his Wa-ter-loo

VERSE 2

1 -1 2 2 1 1 -1 1 1 1
Lit-tle Gen’ral Na-po-le-on of France

1 -1 2 2 1 -1 -1 -1 2 -1
Tried to con-quer the world but lost his chance;

1 -1 2 1 1 -1 1 1 1 1
Met de-feat, known as Bon-a-parte’s re-treat,

1 -1 2 2 2 1 -1 -1 2 -1 1
and that’s where Na-po-leon met his Wa-ter-loo

VERSE 3

-1 2 -2b -2b -1 2 -1 -1 1 -1
Now a fel-lah who’s dar-lin proved un-true,

-1 2 -2b -1 2 2 -2b 2
Took her life, but he lost his too;

-1 2 -2b -1 -1 2 -1 -1 1 -1
Now he swings where the lit-tle bir-dies sing,

-1 2 -2b -2b -2b -1 2 2 -2b 2 -1
And that’s where Tom Doo-ley met his Wa-ter-loo
