Primeiro acorde: G 4 acordes identificados
Intro G
verse 1
Well how do you do now young Willie McBride
Do you mind if I sit down beside your graveside
And rest for a while 'neath warm summer sun
I've been walking all day and I'm nearly done
Well I see by your gravestone you was only nineteen
When you joined the great fallen of 1916
Well I hope you died well and I hope you died clean
Or Willie McBride was it slow and obscene
[Refrão] Am C G
Did they beat the drum slowly and play the fife lowly
Did they sound the death march as they lowered you down
Did the band sound the last post and Chorus
Did they pipe the flowers of the forest
verse 2
Did you leave a young wife or a sweetheart behind
In some faithful heart are your memories enshrined
For although you died back in 1916
In that faithful heart you're forever nineteen
Or are you a stranger without even a name
Enclosed forever behind a glass frame
In an old photograph torn, battered and stained
D D C G
Faded to yellow with brown leather frame
[Refrão]
Did they beat the drum slowly and play the fife lowly
Did they sound the death march as they lowered you down
Did the band sound the last post and
Did they pipe the flowers of the forest
verse 3
As the sun beats down on the green fields of France
There's a soft summer breeze makes the red poppies dance
And see how the sun shines from under the clouds
There's no gas, there's no barbed wire no guns firing now
Oh but here in this graveyard it's still no man's Land
The countless white crosses stand mute in the sand
And through mans blind indifference to his fellow man
To a whole generation who were butchered and damned
Chorus
Did they beat the drum slowly and play the fife lowly
Did they sound the death march as they lowered you down
Did the band sound the last post and Chorus
Did they pipe the flowers of the forest
verse 4
Now Willie McBride I can't help wonder why
Do those that lie here know why did they die
And did they believe when they answered the call
Did they really believe that this war could end wars
Oh the sorrow, the suffering, the glory, the pain
The killing and dying t'was all done in vain
For young Willie McBride oh it happened again
And again, and again, and again, and again
[Refrão]
Did they beat the drum slowly and play the fife lowly
Did they sound the death march as they lowered you down
Did the band sound the last post and
Did they pipe the flowers of the forest
