[Verse]
A F#m D Bm
Well how do you do young Willie McBride,
E E7 D A
Do you mind if I sit here down by your graveside,
F#m D Bm
And rest for a while in the warm summer sun,
E E7 D A
I've been walking all day and I'm nearly done.
A F#m D Bm
I see by your gravestone you were only 19,
E D A E7
When you joined the great fallen in 1916,
A F#m Bm
Well I hope you died quick and I hope you died clean,
E E7 D A
Or Willie McBride was it slow and obscene.
[Chorus]
A E E7
Did they beat the drum slowly,
D A
Did they play the fife lowly,
E E7 D E
Did they sound the dead march, as they lowered you down,
Bm A F#m
Did the band play the last post and chorus,
A D E7 A
Did the pipes play the Flowers of the Forest.
[Verse]
A F#m D Bm
And did you leave a wife or a sweetheart behind,
E E7 D A
In some loyal heart is your memory enshrined,
F#m D Bm
And though you died back in 1916,
E E7 D A
To that loyal heart you're forever 19.
A F#m D Bm
Or are you a stranger without even a name,
E D A E7
Forever enshrined behind some old glass pane,
A F#m Bm
In an old photograph all torn tattered and stained,
E E7 D A
And faded to yellow in a brown leather frame.
[Chorus]
A E E7
Did they beat the drum slowly,
D A
Did they play the fife lowly,
E E7 D E
Did they sound the dead march, as they lowered you down,
Bm A F#m
Did the band play the last post and chorus,
A D E7 A
Did the pipes play the Flowers of the Forest.
[Verse]
A F#m D Bm
The sun's shining down on these green fields of France,
E E7 D A
The warm wind blows gently and the red poppies dance,
F#m D Bm
The trenches have vanished long under the plow
E E7 D A
No gas, no barbed wire, no guns firing now.
A F#m D Bm
But here in this graveyard it's still "No Man's Land",
E D A E7
The countless white crosses in mute witness stand,
A F#m Bm
To man's blind indifference to his fellow man,
E E7 D A
And a whole generation that were butchered and damned.
[Chorus]
A E E7
Did they beat the drum slowly,
D A
Did they play the fife lowly,
E E7 D E
Did they sound the dead march, as they lowered you down,
Bm A F#m
Did the band play the last post and chorus,
A D E7 A
Did the pipes play the Flowers of the Forest.
[Verse]
A F#m D Bm
And I can't help but wonder, oh Willie McBride
E E7 D A
Do all those who lie here know why they died,
F#m D Bm
Did you really believe them when they told you the cause
E E7 D A
Did they really believe that this war would end wars.
A F#m D Bm
Well, the suffering, the sorrow, the glory, the shame
E D A E7
The killing and dying it was all done in vain,
A F#m Bm
Oh Willie McBride it all happened again,
E E7 D A
And again, and again, and again, and again.
[Chorus]
A E E7
Did they beat the drum slowly,
D A
Did they play the fife lowly,
E E7 D E
Did they sound the dead march, as they lowered you down,
Bm A F#m
Did the band play the last post and chorus,
A D E7 A
Did the pipes play the Flowers of the Forest.
