G Em C Am
Well how do you do young Willie McBride,
D D7 C GDo you mind if I sit here down by your graveside,
And rest for a while in the warm summer sun,
D D7 C GI've been walking all day and I'm nearly done.
G Em C AmI see by your gravestone you were only 19,
When you joined the great fallen in 1916,
G Em AmWell I hope you died quick and I hope you died clean,
D D7 C GOr Willie McBride was it slow and obscene.
Chorus
Did they beat the drum slowly,
C GDid they play the fife lowly,
D D7 C DDid they sound the dead march, as they lowered you down,
Did the band play the last post and chorus,
G C D7 GDid 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 GIn some loyal heart is your memory enshrined,
And though you died back in 1916,
D D7 C GTo that loyal heart you're forever 19.
G Em C AmOr are you a stranger without even a name,
Forever enshrined behind some old glass pane,
G Em AmIn an old photograph all torn tattered and stained,
D D7 C GAnd faded to yellow in a brown leather frame.
Chorus
The sun's shining down on these green fields of France,
D D7 C GThe warm wind blows gently and the red poppies dance,
Em C AmThe trenches have vanished long under the plow
No gas, no barbed wire, no guns firing now.
G Em C AmBut here in this graveyard it's still "No Man's Land",
D C G D7The countless white crosses in mute witness stand,
To man's blind indifference to his fellow man,
D D7 C GAnd a whole generation that were butchered and damned.
Chorus
G Em C Am
And I can't help but wonder, oh Willie McBride
Do all those who lie here know why they die,
Em C GDid you really believe them when they told you the cause
D D7 C GDid they really believe that this war would end wars.
Well, the suffering, the sorrow, the glory, the shame
D C G D7The killing and dying it was all done in vain,
G Em AmOh Willie McBride it all happened again,
And again, and again, and again, and again.
