^GWell how do you ^Emdo young ^CWillie ^AmMcBride, Do you ^Dmind if I ^D7sit here down ^Cby your grav^Geside, And rest for a ^Emwhile beneath^C the warm su^Ammmer sun, I've been ^Dwalking all ^D7day and ^CI'm nearly ^Gdone. ^GI see by your ^Emgravestone you were ^Conly ^Am19, When you ^Djoined the great ^Cfallen in ^G19^D716, Well ^GI hope you died ^Emwell and I h^Amope you died clean, Or ^DWillie Mc^D7Bride was it ^Cslow and ^Gobscene.

^GDid they ^Dbeat the drum ^D7slowly, Did they p^Clay the fife l^Gowly, Did they ^Dsound the dead ^D7march, as they ^Clowered you ^Ddown, Did the ^Cband play the last post and c^Ghoru^Ems, Did the ^Gpipes play the ^CFlowers of the ^D7Fores^Gt.

And ^Gdid you leave er^Em wife or a^C sweetheart^Am behind, In so^Dme faitful ^D7heart is your ^Cmemory enshr^Gined, And though you died ^Emback in ^C19^Am16, In ^Dthat faithful^D7 heart you're^C forever^G 19. ^GOr are you a ^Emstranger without ^Ceven a ^Amname, ^DEnclosed and ^CForever ^Gbehind a glass ^D7frame, In ^Gan old photo^Emgraph torn ^Ambattered and stained, And ^Dfaded to ^D7yellow in a ^Cbrown leathe^Gr frame.

^GDid they ^Dbeat the drum ^D7slowly, Did they p^Clay the fife l^Gowly, Did they ^Dsound the dead ^D7march, as they ^Clowered you ^Ddown, Did the ^Cband play the last post and c^Ghoru^Ems, Did the ^Gpipes play the ^CFlowers of the ^D7Fores^Gt.

The ^Gsun now it shi^Emnes on the gre^Cen fields of Fra^Amnce, There'^Ds a warm summer ^D7breeze that make the ^Cred poppies ^Gdance, The trenches have ^Emvanished long ^Cunder the ^Amplow There's No ^Dgas, no b^D7arbed wire, ^Cno guns firing^G now. But ^Ghere in this ^Emgraveyard it's ^Cstill "No Man's ^AmLand", The ^Dcountless white ^Ccrosses in ^Gmute witness ^D7stand, To ^Gman's blind ^Emindifference to ^Amhis fellow man, And a ^Dwhole gen^D7eration that were ^Cbutchered and ^Gdamned.

^GDid they ^Dbeat the drum ^D7slowly, Did they p^Clay the fife l^Gowly, Did they ^Dsound the dead ^D7march, as they ^Clowered you ^Ddown, Did the ^Cband play the last post and c^Ghoru^Ems, Did the ^Gpipes play the ^CFlowers of the ^D7Fores^Gt.

^GWell Willie M^Emc Bride I c^Can't help wondering ^Amwhy Do ^Dall those who ^D7lie here ^Cknow why they did ^Gdie, ^GAnd did they b^Emelieve wh^Cen they answered the^Am call Did they r^Deally be^D7lieve that this ^Cwar would end ^Gwars. Well, the s^Gorrow the suff^Emering, the g^Clory, the p^Amain The ^Dkilling and ^Cdying it ^Gwas all done in ^D7vain, Oh ^GWillie Mc^EmBride it all ^Amhappened again, And ^Dagain, a^D7nd again, a^Cnd again, a^Gnd again.
