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.
