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