of chords in the chorus or something.
[Verse]
E C#m A F#m
Well how do you do young Willie McBride,
B B7 A E
Do you mind if I sit here down by your graveside,
C#m A F#m
And rest for a while in the warm summer sun,
B B7 A E
I've been walking all day and I'm nearly done.
E C#m A F#m
I see by your gravestone you were only 19,
B A E B7
When you joined the great fallen in 1916,
E C#m F#m
Well I hope you died quick and I hope you died clean,
B B7 A E
Or Willie McBride was it slow and obscene.
[Chorus]
E B B7
Did they beat the drum slowly,
A E
Did they play the fife lowly,
B B7 A B
Did they sound the dead march, as they lowered you down,
F#m E C#m
Did the band play the last post and chorus,
E A B7 E
Did the pipes play the Flowers of the Forest.
[Verse]
E C#m A F#m
And did you leave a wife or a sweetheart behind,
B B7 A E
In some loyal heart is your memory enshrined,
C#m A F#m
And though you died back in 1916,
B B7 A E
To that loyal heart you're forever 19.
E C#m A F#m
Or are you a stranger without even a name,
B A E B7
Forever enshrined behind some old glass pane,
E C#m F#m
In an old photograph all torn tattered and stained,
B B7 A E
And faded to yellow in a brown leather frame.
[Chorus]
E B B7
Did they beat the drum slowly,
A E
Did they play the fife lowly,
B B7 A B
Did they sound the dead march, as they lowered you down,
F#m E C#m
Did the band play the last post and chorus,
E A B7 E
Did the pipes play the Flowers of the Forest.
[Verse]
E C#m A F#m
The sun's shining down on these green fields of France,
B B7 A E
The warm wind blows gently and the red poppies dance,
C#m A F#m
The trenches have vanished long under the plow
B B7 A E
No gas, no barbed wire, no guns firing now.
E C#m A F#m
But here in this graveyard it's still "No Man's Land",
B A E B7
The countless white crosses in mute witness stand,
E C#m F#m
To man's blind indifference to his fellow man,
B B7 A E
And a whole generation that were butchered and damned.
[Chorus]
E B B7
Did they beat the drum slowly,
A E
Did they play the fife lowly,
B B7 A B
Did they sound the dead march, as they lowered you down,
F#m E C#m
Did the band play the last post and chorus,
E A B7 E
Did the pipes play the Flowers of the Forest.
[Verse]
E C#m A F#m
And I can't help but wonder, oh Willie McBride
B B7 A E
Do all those who lie here know why they died,
C#m A F#m
Did you really believe them when they told you the cause
B B7 A E
Did they really believe that this war would end wars.
E C#m A F#m
Well, the suffering, the sorrow, the glory, the shame
B A E B7
The killing and dying it was all done in vain,
E C#m F#m
Oh Willie McBride it all happened again,
B B7 A E
And again, and again, and again, and again.
[Chorus]
E B B7
Did they beat the drum slowly,
A E
Did they play the fife lowly,
B B7 A B
Did they sound the dead march, as they lowered you down,
F#m E C#m
Did the band play the last post and chorus,
E A B7 E
Did the pipes play the Flowers of the Forest.
