[Fm] Well, how do you do, [Bb]
young Willie _ [C] McBride?
Do you mind if I sit here down [Bb] by your _
[Fm] graveside
And rest for a while, [Bb] neat the warm summer [C] sun? _
I've been walking all day, [Gm] and [Bb] I'm nearly [Fm] done
_ [F] I _ _ see by your _ gravestone [C] you were only nineteen
When you joined [Fm] the Great [Bb] Fallen in nineteen [C] sixteen _
_ _ I [Fm] _ hope you died well, and [Bb] I hope you died clean
[C] Our young Willie _ McBride [Fm] was [Bb] a sloaned [Fm] obscene

_ [F] _ _ [C] _ _ _ [Gm] _
[Dm] _ _ _ [Cm] _ _ _ [Fm] Is there a wife [Bb] or a sweetheart [C] behind you?
In some faithful heart is [Bb] your memory _ _ [Fm] enshrined
Although you died back [Bb] in nineteen [C] sixteen
_ In that faithful heart [Bb] are you forever [Fm] nineteen? _
_ _ [F] _ _ Or are you [Fm] a stranger without [C] even a name
_ _ Enclosed [Fm] and forever _ [Bb]
behind a [C] glass pane? _ _
[D] In an [Fm] old _ photograph, _ [Bb]
torn, buttered, and stained
_ [C] _
Unfaded to yellow [Bb] in a brown leather [Fm] frame

_ [C] _ _ _ [Dm] The _ _
[C] _ _ _ [Fm] sun now shines [Bb] o'er the green [C] fields of France
There's a warm summer's breeze [Bb] that makes the red [Fm] poppies dance
And look how the sun [Bb] shines from under [C] the clouds
There's no gas and no barbed wire, [Gm] there's no gun firing [Fm] now
But [F] _
_ _ here in this graveyard [C] it's still no man's land
All the countless [Fm] white crosses [Bb] stand mute in the [C] sand
_ _ _ [Fm] To man's blind _ indifference, [Bb] to his fellow man

_ [Dm] _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ [C] _ Now [Fm] young Willie _ McBride, [Bb] I can't help but [C] wonder why
Do those that lie here [Bb] know why [F] they die?
And did they believe when [Bb] they answered [C] the call?
Did they [F] really _ [C] believe that [Bb] this war would end [F] the wars?
_ For the sorrow, the suffering, [C] the glory, the shame _
The killing [Fm] and [Bb] dying were all done [C] in vain
_ For _ [F]
young Willie _ McBride it [Bb] all happened again
[C] And again, and again, [Bb] and again, and [F] again
