Well, how do you do, Private William Mc-Bride
RE SOL REDo you mind if I sit here, down by your grave-side
SOL DOAnd I'll rest for a while in the warm summer sun
I've been walking all day; Lord, and I'm nearly done
LAmAnd I see by your gravestone, you were only nine-teen
RE7 SOL REWhen you joined the glorious fallen in nineteen six-teen
Well I hope you died quick and I hope you died clean
RE DO SOLOr Willie Mc-Bride, was it slow and ob-scene
Did they beat the drum slowly, did they sound the fife lowly
Did the rifles fire o'er you as they lowered you down
DO REDid the bugles play The Last Post in chorus
SOL DO RE SOLDid the pipes play The Flowers Of The For-est
SOL DO LAm
And did you leave a wife or a sweetheart be-hind
In some faithful heart is your memory en-shrined
SOL DOAnd though you died back in nineteen-six-teen
RE DO SOL ( )To that loyal heart are you always nine-teen
Or are you a stranger without even a name
RE7 SOL REEnshrined for-ever be-hind a glass pane
SOL LAmIn an old photo-graph, torn and tattered and stained
And fading to yellow in a brown leather frame
The sun's shining now on these green fields of France
RE SOL REThe warm wind blows gently and the red poppies dance
SOL DOThe trenches have vanished, long under the plough
No gas and no barbed-wire, no guns firing now
LAmBut here in this graveyard, it's still No Man's Land
RE7 SOL REThe countless white crosses in mute witness stand
To man's blind in-difference to his fellow man
RE DO SOLTo a whole gener-ation who were butchered and damned
And I can't help but wonder now, Willie Mc-Bride
RE SOL REDo all those who lie here know why they died
SOL DODid you really be-lieve them when they told you the cause
Did you really be-lieve that this war would end wars
LAmWell the suffering, the sorrow, the glory, the shame
RE7 SOL REThe killing, the dying, it was all done in vain
For Willie Mc-Bride, it's all happened a-gain
RE DO SOLAnd a-gain and a-gain and a-gain and a-gain
