of chords in the chorus or something.
[Verse]
F Dm A# Gm
Well how do you do young Willie McBride,
C C7 A# F
Do you mind if I sit here down by your graveside,
Dm A# Gm
And rest for a while in the warm summer sun,
C C7 A# F
I've been walking all day and I'm nearly done.
F Dm A# Gm
I see by your gravestone you were only 19,
C A# F C7
When you joined the great fallen in 1916,
F Dm Gm
Well I hope you died quick and I hope you died clean,
C C7 A# F
Or Willie McBride was it slow and obscene.
[Chorus]
F C C7
Did they beat the drum slowly,
A# F
Did they play the fife lowly,
C C7 A# C
Did they sound the dead march, as they lowered you down,
Gm F Dm
Did the band play the last post and chorus,
F A# C7 F
Did the pipes play the Flowers of the Forest.
[Verse]
F Dm A# Gm
And did you leave a wife or a sweetheart behind,
C C7 A# F
In some loyal heart is your memory enshrined,
Dm A# Gm
And though you died back in 1916,
C C7 A# F
To that loyal heart you're forever 19.
F Dm A# Gm
Or are you a stranger without even a name,
C A# F C7
Forever enshrined behind some old glass pane,
F Dm Gm
In an old photograph all torn tattered and stained,
C C7 A# F
And faded to yellow in a brown leather frame.
[Chorus]
F C C7
Did they beat the drum slowly,
A# F
Did they play the fife lowly,
C C7 A# C
Did they sound the dead march, as they lowered you down,
Gm F Dm
Did the band play the last post and chorus,
F A# C7 F
Did the pipes play the Flowers of the Forest.
[Verse]
F Dm A# Gm
The sun's shining down on these green fields of France,
C C7 A# F
The warm wind blows gently and the red poppies dance,
Dm A# Gm
The trenches have vanished long under the plow
C C7 A# F
No gas, no barbed wire, no guns firing now.
F Dm A# Gm
But here in this graveyard it's still "No Man's Land",
C A# F C7
The countless white crosses in mute witness stand,
F Dm Gm
To man's blind indifference to his fellow man,
C C7 A# F
And a whole generation that were butchered and damned.
[Chorus]
F C C7
Did they beat the drum slowly,
A# F
Did they play the fife lowly,
C C7 A# C
Did they sound the dead march, as they lowered you down,
Gm F Dm
Did the band play the last post and chorus,
F A# C7 F
Did the pipes play the Flowers of the Forest.
[Verse]
F Dm A# Gm
And I can't help but wonder, oh Willie McBride
C C7 A# F
Do all those who lie here know why they died,
Dm A# Gm
Did you really believe them when they told you the cause
C C7 A# F
Did they really believe that this war would end wars.
F Dm A# Gm
Well, the suffering, the sorrow, the glory, the shame
C A# F C7
The killing and dying it was all done in vain,
F Dm Gm
Oh Willie McBride it all happened again,
C C7 A# F
And again, and again, and again, and again.
[Chorus]
F C C7
Did they beat the drum slowly,
A# F
Did they play the fife lowly,
C C7 A# C
Did they sound the dead march, as they lowered you down,
Gm F Dm
Did the band play the last post and chorus,
F A# C7 F
Did the pipes play the Flowers of the Forest.
