[Intro]
C
 
[Verse 1]
 
C                           F        Dm
Well how do you do, Private Willie McBride?
       G                       C            G
Do you mind if I sit here down by your graveside,
    C                            F           Dm
And I'll rest for a while in the warm summer sun?
          G                          F          C
I've been walkin' all day, Lord, and I'm nearly done.
C                            Dm
And I see by your gravestone you were only 19
         G                             C  G
When you joined the glorious fallen in 19-16 
  C                          Dm
I hope you died quick, and I hope you died clean,
   G                      F        C
Or Willie McBride, was it slow and obscene?
 
[Chorus]
 
         G
Did they beat the drums slowly,
         F              C
Did they sound the fife lowly,
        G                           F           C*
Did the rifles fire o'er ye as they lowered you down?
        F                           G*
Did the bugle sing The Last Post in chorus?
        C              F              G  C
Did the pipes play the Flowers of the Fo-rest?

[Verse 2]
C                             F             Dm
And did you leave a wife or a sweetheart be-hind
   G                           C      G
In some faithful heart is your memory enshrined
    C                       F  Dm
And though you died back in 19-16
   G                        F       C
To that loyal heart are you forever 19
   C                          Dm
Or are you a stranger without even a name
G                    C               G
Forever enshrined be-hind some glass pane?
      C                     Dm
In an old photograph, torn, tattered and stained
    G                     F              C
And fading to yellow in a brown, leather frame
 
[Chorus]
 
         G
Did they beat the drums slowly,
         F              C
Did they sound the fife lowly,
        G                           F           C*
Did the rifles fire o'er ye as they lowered you down?
        F                           G*
Did the bugle sing The Last Post in chorus?
        C              F              G  C
Did the pipes play the Flowers of the Fo-rest?

[Verse 3]
         C                          F               Dm
Well the sun's shining now on these green fields of France
    G                           C           G
The warm wind blows gently, the red poppies dance
    C                           F         Dm
The trenches have vanished long under the plough
   G                          F           C
No gas and no barbed wire, no guns firing now
    C                             Dm
But here in this graveyard that's still No Man’s Land
    G                          C            G
The countless white crosses in mute witness stand
   C                           Dm
To man's blind indifference to his fellow man
      G                         F             C
And a whole generation who were butchered and damned
 
[Chorus]
 
         G
Did they beat the drums slowly,
         F              C
Did they sound the fife lowly,
        G                           F           C*
Did the rifles fire o'er ye as they lowered you down?
        F                           G*
Did the bugle sing The Last Post in chorus?
        C              F              G  C
Did the pipes play the Flowers of the Fo-rest?

[Verse 4]
      C                      F         Dm
And I can't help but wonder, Willie Mc-Bride
       G                   C             G
Do all those who lie here, know why they died?
        C                             F             Dm
Did you really believe them when they told you 'The Cause?’
    G                        F             C
You really believe that this war would end wars?
          C                          Dm
Well, the suffering, the sorrow, the glory, the shame
    G                          C           G
The killing, the dying, it was all done in vain
    C                      Dm
For Willie McBride, it all happened again
    G                       F           C
And again, and again, and a-gain, and a-gain!
 
[Chorus]
 
         G
Did they beat the drums slowly,
         F              C
Did they sound the fife lowly,
        G                           F           C*
Did the rifles fire o'er ye as they lowered you down?
        F                           G*
Did the bugle sing The Last Post in chorus?
        C              F              G  C
Did the pipes play the Flowers of the Fo-rest?
 
[Outro]
        F                           G
Did the bugle sing The Last Post in chorus?
        C*             F              G  C
Did the pipes play the Flowers of the Fo-rest?
 
Close with this lovely lick from C*:
