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