Capo: 1

CAPO on First Fret I used two versions of this song uploaded on this site as a reference: the one by and Wiggy 1988. The reason I upload this is because Jeffbrak's version is kind of silly to It works better with Capo on 1st fret, plus he didnt upload the entire song, which is annoying if you want to play along. Wiggy 1988's version has many mistakes in it but he the effort of uploading the entire song. Anyways, I think this is more conveniently xD Try picking around a bit during the Verses, and start strumming during the Chorus. This best in my opinion, but feel free to do with it what you want. Enjoy, Stijn Bontinck CAPOT ON 1st FRET

Well ^Dhow do you ^Bmdo young ^GWillie ^AMcBride, Do you mind if I sit here down by ^Gyour gravesi^Dde, And rest for a ^Bmwhile in the ^Gwarm summer ^Asun, I've been walking all day and I'm ^Gnearly done^D. I ^Dsee by your gr^Bmavestone you were on^Gly 19^Em, When you jo^Ained the great ^Gfallen in ^D19^A16, Well ^DI hope you died ^Bmquick and I h^Emope you died clean, Or ^AWillie McBride was it s^Glow and o^Dbscene.

Chorus:

Did they ^Abeat the drum slowly, Did they p^Glay the fife l^Dowly, Did they ^Asound the dead march, as they ^Glowered you ^Adown, Did the ^Gband play the last post and ^Dchor^Bmus, Did the ^Dpipes play the ^GFlowers of the ^AFore^Dst.

^D And did you le^Bmave a wife or a ^Gsweethe^Aart behind, In some loyal heart is^G your mem^Dory enshrined, And thoug^Bmh you died ba^Gck^A in 1916, ^A To that loyal heart y^Gou're fo^Drever 19. Or are^Bm you a stranger w^Emithout even a name, ^A For^Gever enshrined beh^Dind some old gl^Aass pane, In ^Dan old photo^Bmgraph all torn ^Emtattered and stained, And ^Afaded to yellow in a ^Gbrown leather ^Dframe. Chorus: Did they ^Abeat the drum slowly, Did they p^Glay the fife l^Dowly, Did they ^Asound the dead march, as they ^Glowered you ^Adown, Did the ^Gband play the last post and ^Dchor^Bmus, Did the ^Dpipes play the ^GFlowers of the ^AFore^Dst.

^D The sun's sh^Bmining down on ^Gthese green fiel^Ads of France, The warm wind blows gently and^G the red pop^Dpies dance, ^BmThe trenches h^Gave vanish^Aed long under the plow No gas, no barbed wire^G, no guns f^Diring now. ^D But here in^Bm this graveyard^G it's still &quo^Emt;No Man's Land", ^A The countless ^Gwhite cross^Des in mute wi^Atness stand, ^D To man's ^Bmblind indifferen^Emce to his fellow man, ^AAnd a whole generation that^G were butchere^Dd and damned.

Chorus:

^DAnd I can't hel^Bmp but wonde^Gr, oh Wil^Alie McBride Do all those who lie^G here know why^D they died, Did you r^Bmeally bel^Gieve them when they told you the ^Acause Did they really believe that this ^Gwar would end ^Dwars. Well, the suffering,^Bm the sorrow,^G the glory^Em, the shame ^A The killin^Gg and dyi^Dng it was all do^Ane in vain, Oh ^DWillie Mc^BmBride it all ^Emhappened again, And ^Aagain, and ^Gagain, and ^Dagain, and again.
