[Intro]
Em C Em C

[Verse 1]
Em
The streets are covered in chalk,
D
the shops all boarded up,
Em D
the bodies are carried back down from the square.
Em
He begins to wonder,
D
if it always was this hot,
Em D
or is it just the clothes that he now wears?
C

[Chorus]
Em C G C D
Napoleon sheds his skin in the summer when the sun is high.
Em C G C
He never knew when to quit, when to stop,
Em
or when to say die

[Verse 2]
Em
Pick the bones, get a tan,
D
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 D
And he'd get involved in whichever side could pay.
C

[Chorus]
Em C G C D
Napoleon sheds his skin in the summer when the sun is high.
Em C G C
He never knew when to quit, when to stop,
Em
or when to say die

[Instrumental]
