Intro
of chords in the chorus or something.
[Verse]
G# Fm C# A#m
Well how do you do young Willie McBride,
D# D#7 C# G#
Do you mind if I sit here down by your graveside,
Fm C# A#m
And rest for a while in the warm summer sun,
D# D#7 C# G#
I've been walking all day and I'm nearly done.
G# Fm C# A#m
I see by your gravestone you were only 19,
D# C# G# D#7
When you joined the great fallen in 1916,
G# Fm A#m
Well I hope you died quick and I hope you died clean,
D# D#7 C# G#
Or Willie McBride was it slow and obscene.
[Chorus]
G# D# D#7
Did they beat the drum slowly,
C# G#
Did they play the fife lowly,
D# D#7 C# D#
Did they sound the dead march, as they lowered you down,
A#m G# Fm
Did the band play the last post and chorus,
G# C# D#7 G#
Did the pipes play the Flowers of the Forest.
[Verse]
G# Fm C# A#m
And did you leave a wife or a sweetheart behind,
D# D#7 C# G#
In some loyal heart is your memory enshrined,
Fm C# A#m
And though you died back in 1916,
D# D#7 C# G#
To that loyal heart you're forever 19.
G# Fm C# A#m
Or are you a stranger without even a name,
D# C# G# D#7
Forever enshrined behind some old glass pane,
G# Fm A#m
In an old photograph all torn tattered and stained,
D# D#7 C# G#
And faded to yellow in a brown leather frame.
[Chorus]
G# D# D#7
Did they beat the drum slowly,
C# G#
Did they play the fife lowly,
D# D#7 C# D#
Did they sound the dead march, as they lowered you down,
A#m G# Fm
Did the band play the last post and chorus,
G# C# D#7 G#
Did the pipes play the Flowers of the Forest.
[Verse]
G# Fm C# A#m
The sun's shining down on these green fields of France,
D# D#7 C# G#
The warm wind blows gently and the red poppies dance,
Fm C# A#m
The trenches have vanished long under the plow
D# D#7 C# G#
No gas, no barbed wire, no guns firing now.
G# Fm C# A#m
But here in this graveyard it's still "No Man's Land",
D# C# G# D#7
The countless white crosses in mute witness stand,
G# Fm A#m
To man's blind indifference to his fellow man,
D# D#7 C# G#
And a whole generation that were butchered and damned.
[Chorus]
G# D# D#7
Did they beat the drum slowly,
C# G#
Did they play the fife lowly,
D# D#7 C# D#
Did they sound the dead march, as they lowered you down,
A#m G# Fm
Did the band play the last post and chorus,
G# C# D#7 G#
Did the pipes play the Flowers of the Forest.
[Verse]
G# Fm C# A#m
And I can't help but wonder, oh Willie McBride
D# D#7 C# G#
Do all those who lie here know why they died,
Fm C# A#m
Did you really believe them when they told you the cause
D# D#7 C# G#
Did they really believe that this war would end wars.
G# Fm C# A#m
Well, the suffering, the sorrow, the glory, the shame
D# C# G# D#7
The killing and dying it was all done in vain,
G# Fm A#m
Oh Willie McBride it all happened again,
D# D#7 C# G#
And again, and again, and again, and again.
[Chorus]
G# D# D#7
Did they beat the drum slowly,
C# G#
Did they play the fife lowly,
D# D#7 C# D#
Did they sound the dead march, as they lowered you down,
A#m G# Fm
Did the band play the last post and chorus,
G# C# D#7 G#
Did the pipes play the Flowers of the Forest.
