Intro
G Em C Am D D7 C G
[G] [Em] [C] [Am]
Well how do you do young Willie McBride,
[D] [D7] [C] [G]
Do you mind if I sit here down by your graveside,
Em C Am
And rest for a while in the warm summer sun,
[D] [D7] [C] [G]
I've been walking all day and I'm nearly done.
[G] [Em] [C] [Am]
I see by your gravestone you were only 19,
[D] [C] [G]
When you joined the great fallen in 1916,
[G] [Em] [Am]
I hope you died well and I hope you died clean,
[D] [D7] [C] [G]
Or Willie McBride was it slow and obscene.
Chorus
[G] [D] [D7]
Did they beat the drum slowly,
C G
Did they play the fife lowly,
[D] [D7] [C] [D]
Did they sound the dead march, as they lowered you down,
C G Em
Did the band play the last post and chorus,
[G] [C] [D7] [G]
Did the pipes play the Flowers of the Forest.
[G] [Em] [C] [Am]
And did you leave a wife or a sweetheart behind,
[D] [D7] [C] [G]
In some loyal heart is your memory enshrined,
[G] [Em] [C] [Am]
Although you died back in 1916,
[D] [D7] [C] [G]
In that faithful heart you're forever 19
[G] [Em] [C] [Am]
Or are you a stranger without even a name,
Am D C G
Enclosed forever behind a glass frame,
[G] [Em] [Am]
In an old photograph all torn battered and stained,
[D] [D7] [C] [G]
And faded to yellow in a brown leather frame.
[G] [D] [D7]
Did they beat the drum slowly,
C G
Did they play the fife lowly,
[D] [D7] [C] [D]
Did they sound the dead march, as they lowered you down,
C G Em
Did the band play the last post and chorus,
[G] [C] [D7] [G]
Did the pipes play the Flowers of the Forest.
[G] [Em] [C] [Am]
The sun now it shines on the green fields of France,
[D] [D7] [C]
Theres a warm summer breeze that makes
G
the red poppies dance,
Em C Am
and look how the sun shines from under the trees
[D] [D7] [C] [G] [G]
thers no gas, no barbed wire, no guns firing now.
[G] [Em] [C] [Am]
But here in this graveyard it's still "No Man's Land",
[D] [C] [G] [D7]
The countless white crosses stand mute in the sand,
[G] [Em] [Am]
To man's blind indifference to his fellow man,
[D] [D7] [C] [G]
To a whole generation that were butchered and damned.
Chorus
[G] [D] [D7]
Did they beat the drum slowly,
C G
Did they play the fife lowly,
[D] [D7] [C] [D]
Did they sound the dead march, as they lowered you down,
C G Em
Did the band play the last post and chorus,
[G] [C] [D7] [G]
Did the pipes play the Flowers of the Forest.
[G] [Em] [C] [Am]
Ah, Willie McBride I cant help wonder why
[D] [D7] [C] [G]
Do all those who lie here know why they did die,
Em C Am
and did they believe when they answered the call
[D] [D7] [C] [G]
Did they really believe that this war would end all wars.
[G] [Em] [C] [Am]
Well, the sorrow, the suffering, the glory, the pain
[D] [C] [G] [D7]
The killing and dying it was all done in vain,
[G] [Em] [Am]
For young Willie McBride it all happened again,
[D] [D7] [C] [G]
And again, and again, and again, and again.
Chorus
[G] [D] [D7]
Did they beat the drum slowly,
C G
Did they play the fife lowly,
[D] [D7] [C] [D]
Did they sound the dead march, as they lowered you down,
C G Em
Did the band play the last post and chorus,
[G] [C] [D7] [G]
Did the pipes play the Flowers of the Forest.
