Green Fields Of France

**Chords:**
C  G  Am  F  
C  G  F  C  

C                   G  
Well, how do you do, young Willie McBride,  
      Am                    F  
Do you mind if I sit here down by your graveside?  
       C                       G  
And rest for a while 'neath the warm summer sun,  
     F                        C  
I've been walking all day, and I'm nearly done.  
     G                         Am  
I see by your gravestone you were only nineteen,  
        F                          C  
When you joined the great fall in nineteen sixteen.  
        G                           Am  
I hope you died well, and I hope you died clean,  
        F                       C  
Or young Willie McBride, was it slow and obscene?  

C                   G  
Did they beat the drums slowly, did they play the fife lowly,  
       Am                        F  
Did they sound the dead march as they lowered you down?  
       C                      G  
Did the band play the Last Post and chorus?  
       F                       C  
Did the pipes play the Flowers of the Forest?
