《Green Fields Of France (Live)》歌词

[00:07:13] Green Fields Of France - An Cat Dubh

[00:07:13] Strophe:

[00:07:13] G e C a D C G

[00:07:13] Well how do you do young Willie McBride, do you mind if I sit here by your graveside

[00:07:13] G e C a D C G

[00:07:13] And rest for a while 4neath the warm summer sun. I4ve been working all day and I4m nearly done

[00:07:13] G a D C D

[00:07:13] I see by your gravestone you were only 19 when you joined the great fallen in 1916

[00:07:13] G a D C G

[00:07:13] I hope you died well and I hope you died clean, or young Willie McBride was it slow and obscene?

[00:07:13] Refrain:

[00:07:13] D C G

[00:07:13] Did they beat the drum slowly, did they play the fife lowly?

[00:07:13] D C D

[00:07:13] Did they sound the dead march as they lowered you down?

[00:07:13] C G e

[00:07:13] Did the band play "The Last Post" and chorus?

[00:07:13] G C D G

[00:07:13] Did the pipes play "The Flowers Of The Forest"?

[00:07:13] Strophe:

[00:07:13] Did you leave e4er a wife or a sweetheart behind, in some faithful heart is your memory enshrined

[00:07:13] Although you died back in 1916, in some faithful heart you are forever 19

[00:07:13] Or are you a stranger wihtout even a name, enclosed in forever behind a glass frame

[00:07:13] In an old photograph, torn and battered and stained, and faded to yellow in brown leather frame

[00:07:13] Refrain:

[00:07:13] Strophe:

[00:07:13] The sun now it shines o4er the green fields of France, there4s a warm summer breeze makes the red poppies dance

[00:07:13] And look how the sun shines from under the clouds, there4s no gas or barbed wire, there4s no gun firing now

[00:07:13] But here in the graveyard it4s still no man4s land, the countless white crosses stand mute in the sand

[00:07:13] To man4s blind indifference to his fellow man, to a whole generation we were butchered and damned

[00:07:13] Refrain:

[00:07:13] Strophe:

[00:07:13] Now young Willie McBride I can4t help wonder why, do all those who lie here know why they died?

[00:07:13] And did they believe when they answered the call, did they really believe that this war would end wars?

[00:07:13] Wel
