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. :) Easier chords played with transponse chords -1 (D-major) and Capo 1 :-) Enjoy - Rakile Intro: Eb Cm Ab Fm A G D (all chords are three long) [Verse 1]
Well hEbow do you Cmdo young AbWillie MFmcBride, Do you Bbmind if I sit here down Abby your gravesEbide, And rest for a wCmhile in the wAbarm summer sFmun, I've been wBbalking all day and I'Abm nearly dEbone. I sEbee by your gCmravestone you were oFmnly 19, When you jBboined the great fallen in Ab191Bb6, Well I hEbope you died Cmquick and I hAbope you died clFmean, Or WBbillie McBride was it sAblow and obsEbcene.
[Chorus]
Did they Bbbeat the drum slowly, Did they pAblay the fife lEbowly, Did they Bbsound the death march, as theyAb lowered you dBbown, Did the Abband play the last post and cEbhorCmus, Did the Ebpipes play the FAblowers of the FBboresEbt.
[Verse 2]
And dEbid you leave a wCmife or a sAbweetheart behFmind, In sBbome loyal heart is your mAbemory ensEbhrined, And tEbhough you died bCmack in Ab191Fm6, To tBbhat loyal heart you're forAbever 1Eb9. Or are you a sCmtranger without eFmven a name, ForBbever enshrined behind sAbome old glass pBbane, In an oEbld photogCmraph all torn tAbattered and sFmtained, And fBbaded to yellow in a bAbrown leather fEbrame.
[Chorus]
Did they Bbbeat the drum slowly, Did they pAblay the fife lEbowly, Did they Bbsound the death march, as theyAb lowered you dBbown, Did the Abband play the last post and cEbhorCmus, Did the Ebpipes play the FAblowers of the FBboresEbt.
[Verse 3]
The sEbun's shining dCmown on these grAbeen fields of FFmrance, The wBbarm wind blows gently and the rAbed poppies dEbance, The tEbrenches have vCmanished long uAbnder the pFmlow No gBbas, no barbed wire, no gAbuns firing nEbow. But here in this gCmraveyard it's sFmtill No Man's Land, The cBbountless white crosses in mAbute witness sBbtand, To mEban's blind indCmifference to hAbis fellow mFman, And a wBbhole generation that were bAbutchered and dEbamned.
[Chorus]
Did they Bbbeat the drum slowly, Did they pAblay the fife lEbowly, Did they Bbsound the death march, as theyAb lowered you dBbown, Did the Abband play the last post and cEbhorCmus, Did the Ebpipes play the FAblowers of the FBboresEbt.
[Verse 4]
And I cEban't help but wCmonder, oh WAbillie MFmcBride Do aBbll those who lie here kAbnow why they dEbie, Did you rEbeally belCmieve them when they tAbold you the cFmause Did they rBbeally believe that this wAbar would end wEbars. Well, the sEbuffering, the sCmorrow, the gAblory, the sFmhame The kBbilling and dying it was aAbll done in vBbain, Oh WEbillie McCmBride it all hAbappened aFmgain, And agBbain, and again, and agAbain, and agEbain.
