All of the versions currently up have had the wrong chords, so I thought I would edit it put in the ones Dropkick Murphys used. Enjoy! All of the verses have the same chords. :) Intro: Eb-Ab-Bb-Eb (all chords are three long)
EbWell how do you Cmdo young AbWillie MBbcBride, Do you Bbmind if I sBbit here down bAby your gravesEbide, And rest for a Cmwhile in the Abwarm summer Bbsun, I've been Bbwalking all day andAb I'm nearly Bbdone. EbI see by your gCmravestone you were oFmnly 19, When you Bbjoined the great fallen inAb 19Bb16, Well EbI hope you died Cmquick and I hFmope you died clean, Or BbWillie McBride was itAb slow and Ebobscene.
Chorus:
Did they Bbbeat the drum slowly, Did they pAblay the fife lEbowly, Did they Bbsound the death march, as theyAb lowered youBb down, Did the Abband play the last post and cEbhorCmus, Did the Ebpipes play the FAblowers of the FBboresEbt.
And did you leave a wife or a sweetheart behind, In some loyal heart is your memory enshrined, And though you died back in 1916, To that loyal heart you're forever 19. Or are you a stranger without even a name, Forever enshrined behind some old glass pane, In an old photograph all torn tattered and stained, And faded to yellow in a brown leather frame. Chorus The sun's shining down on these green fields of France, The warm wind blows gently and the red poppies dance, The trenches have vanished long under the plow No gas, no barbed wire, no guns firing now. But here in this graveyard it's still "No Man's Land", The countless white crosses in mute witness stand, To man's blind indifference to his fellow man, And a whole generation that were butchered and damned. Chorus And I can't help but wonder, oh Willie McBride Do all those who lie here know why they die, Did you really believe them when they told you the cause Did they really believe that this war would end wars. Well, the suffering, the sorrow, the glory, the shame The killing and dying it was all done in vain, Oh Willie McBride it all happened again, And again, and again, and again, and again.
