- SOL MIm DO LAm
Well how do you do young Willie McBride,
RE RE7 DO SOL Do you mind if I sit here down by your graveside,
MIm DO LAmAnd rest for a while neath the warm summer sun,
- RE RE7 DO SOL
I've been working all day and I'm nearly done.
SOL MIm DO LAm I see by your gravestone you were only 19,
RE DO SOL RE7When you joined the great fallen in 1916,
- SOL MIm LAm
I hope you died well and I hope you died clean,
RE RE7 DO SOL Or young Willie McBride was it slow and obscene.
(CHORUS )
SOL RE RE7 DO SOLDid they beat the drum slowly, did they play the fife lowly,
- RE RE7 DO RE
Did they sound the dead march, as they lowered you down,
DO SOL MIm Did the band play the last post and chorus,
SOL DO RE7 SOLDid the pipes play the Flowers of the Forest.
Did you leave ere a wife or a sweetheart behind,
In some faithful heart is your memory enshrined,
Although you died back in 1916,
In that faithful heart are you forever 19.
Or are you a stranger without even a name,
Enclosed in forever behind a glass frame,
In an old photograph all torn battered and stained,
And faded to yellow in a brown leather frame.
CHO:
The sun now it shines on the green fields of France,
There's a warm summer breeze that makes the red poppies dance,
And look how the sun shines from under the trees,
There's no gas, no barbed wire, there's no guns firing now.
But here in this graveyard it's still "No Man's Land",
The countless white crosses stand mute in the sand,
To man's blind indifference to his fellow man,
To a whole generation that were butchered and damned.
CHO:
Ah, young Willie McBride I can't help wonder why,
Do all those who lie here know why did they die,
And did they believe when they answered the call,
Did they really believe that this war would end wars.
Well, the sorrow, the suffering, the glory, the pain,
The killing and dieing were all done in vain,
For young Willie McBride it all happened again,
And again, and again, and again, and again.
