OK hopefully this should be an improvement on the other guys tabs for this song. Did some minor corrections to v.2, substituted Fm and D7 with the right chords F and Dm Capo 3rd C Am F Dm Well how do you do young Willie McBride, G F C Do you mind if I sit here down by your graveside, Am F Dm And rest for a while in the warm summer sun, G F C I've been walking all day and I'm nearly done. C Am F Dm I see by your gravestone you were only 19, G F C G When you joined the great fallen in 1916, C Am Dm Well I hope you died quick and I hope you died clean, G F C Or Willie McBride was it slow and obscene. Chorus: C G Did they beat the drum slowly, F C Did they play the fife lowly, G F G Did they sound the dead march, as they lowered you down, F C Am Did the band play the last post and chorus, C F G C Did the pipes play the Flowers of the Forest. C Am F Dm And did you leave a wife or a sweetheart behind, G F C In some loyal heart is your memory enshrined, Am F Dm And though you died back in 1916, G F C To that loyal heart you're forever 19. C Am F Dm Or are you a stranger without even a name, G F C G Forever enshrined behind some old glass pane, C Am Dm In an old photograph all torn tattered and stained, G F C And faded to yellow in a brown leather frame. Chorus C Am F Dm The sun's shining down on these green fields of France, G F C The warm wind blows gently and the red poppies dance, Am F Dm The trenches have vanished long under the plow G F C No gas, no barbed wire, no guns firing now. C Am F Dm But here in this graveyard it's still "No Man's Land", G F C G The countless white crosses in mute witness stand, C Am Dm To man's blind indifference to his fellow man, G F C And a whole generation that were butchered and damned. Chorus C Am F Dm And I can't help but wonder, oh Willie McBride G F C Do all those who lie here know why they die, Am F C Did you really believe them when they told you the cause G F C Did they really believe that this war would end wars. C Am F Dm Well, the suffering, the sorrow, the glory, the shame G F C G The killing and dying it was all done in vain, C Am Dm Oh Willie McBride it all happened again, G F C And again, and again, and again, and again.
