Ok the earlier post was slightly incorrect but this will be updated as of now.if you are going to just strum through the piece then the chords are as follows. However if you are going to finger pick this song through note that the F# and B you will see is a single note added as in G down to F# then into Em, or C down to B then into Am and so fourth.
Here are the chords corrected!
Intro G F# Em C B Am D G C D /G F# Em C B Am D G C D
Verse G F# Em C B Am D G C D /G F# Em C B Am A7 D C G D
Chorus
G F# Em C B Am D C D/G F# Em C B Am C G F# Em Bm Am D G
play intro
Then repeat chorus play intro as an outro and fade out. This now completes the update of chords to My Sweet Sixteen.
: can you please send the chords for "when you were sweet 16" by "the fureys" if you could it would be a great help, cheers, ruth
From the first chord if you are playing as finger pick you must note there are single notes also to be played apart from the chords so with this in mind here they are i hope i make no mistakes.
Intro: G Em C Am D G C D // G Em C Am D G C D
Verse chorus bridge. G Em C Am D G C D // G Em C Am A7 D C G D
G Em C Am D C D// G Em C Am C G Em Am D G
One verse into a bridge then chorus, after chorus instrumental go back to bridge and repeat through to chorus, play out outro. One of the most beautiful Irish songs ever written.
: can you please send the chords for "when you were sweet 16" by "the fureys" if you could it would be a great help, cheers, ruth

G Em (C Emaj Am), C G Em Am D7 G D7
It’s pretty much along those lines. I’ve tried finding it on the net cause I need the full layout and lyrics for the song but to no avail.

[C]I was 18 years[DM]old,when I[C]went down to[F]Dublin,
With a[C]fist full of[AM]money,and a[DM]cart load of[G]dreams.
Take your[C]time said me[DM]father,stop[C]rushing like[F]hell,
And rem[C]ember all is[AM]not what it[G7]seems to[C]be.
For theres[G]fellas would[AM]cut you for the[F]coat on your[C]back.
Or the[F]watch that you[F]got from your[G]mother,
So take[C]care me young[DM]buck-o and[C]mind your-self[F]well.
And will you[C]give this we[G7]note to me[C]brother.
At the[G]time uncle Benjy was a[F]policeman in[C]Brooklyn.
And me[G] father the youngest looked[F]after the[G]farm.
When a[C]phone call from a-[DM]merica said[[C]send the lad[F]over.
And the[C]old fella said[AM]it would’nt[G]do any[C]harm.
For I [G]spent my life working this [F]dirty old [C]ground
For a [G]few pints of porter and the [F]smell of a [G]pound
And sure [C]maybe there’s [DM]something you’ll [C]learn or you’ll [F]see
And you [C]can bring it back [AM]home, make it[G] easy on [C]me
They usually start it down a step in Bb and modulate up to C for the last verse. I play it in C the whole time because it’s easier.
The Chords are Em, G & D played in sequence the strum pattern is quite different. Have it recorded on CD accompanying our Whistle player, The guitar is a simple accompanyment as it is a dominant whistle tune.
I will travel to Ireland this summer and has a fan of irish music I would like to know the lyrics of "Steal Away" so I can be able to sing it!

I think this song is lovley, and I only heard the english version untill quite reccently. Since I was little i can remember singing the welsh version of the song. In the welsh lyrics, it talks of a young boy named Thomos John Williams, and how he died in the Somme, dying for England. The title in Welsh is ‘Gwaed ar eu dwylo’ which means ‘ Blood on their hands’ which doesnt sound as well in english. But they both mention the same thing, That the smaller countries, are always sacrificed first to help the biggest countries.

Here are the lyrics my friend, and its Fureys, not furreys…as for chords I am looking for them myself but play it in D quite well. Good luck and have a great time in Ireland.
Artist: The Fureys
Album: Miscellaneous
Tracks
Song: The Green Fields
Of France
Well, how do you do, young Willie McBride
Do you mind if I sit here, down by your graveside
And rest for awhile ‘neath the warm summer sun
I’ve been walking all day, and I’m nearly done
I see by your gravestone you are only nineteen
When you joined the great fallen in nineteen-sixteen
I hope you died well and I hope you died clean
Or, young Willie McBride, was it slow and obscene
Chorus: Did they beat the drum slowly, did they play the fife flowly
Did they sound the Death March as they lowered you down
Did the band play The Last Post in chorus
Did the pipes play the Flowers of the Forest
Did you leave ‘ere wife or a sweetheart behind
In some faithful heart is your memory enshrined
Although you died back in nineteen-sixteen
In that faithful heart are you forever nineteen
Or are you a stranger without even a name
Enclosed then forever behind a glass frame
In an old photograph, torn, battered and stained
And faded to yellow in brown leather frame
(Chorus)
The sun, now it shines on the green fields of France
There’s a warm summer breeze that makes the red poppies dance
And look how the sun shines from under the clouds
There’s no gas, no barbed wire, there’s no gun firing now
But here in this graveyard it’s still no man’s land
The countless white crosses stand mute in the sand
To man’s blind indifference to his fellow man
To a whole generation that were butchered and damned
(Chorus)
Ah, young Willie McBride, I can’t help wonder why
Do those that lie here know why did they die
And did they believe when they answered the cause
Did they really believe that this war would end wars
Well, the sorrow, the suffering, the glory, the pain
The killing and dying was all done in vain
For, young Willie McBride, it all happened again
And again and again and again and again!
The words "the great fallen" are not a reflection of the WW1 expression. Eric Bogle may even have it wrongly, I haven’t seen his original lyrics. The army order is "Fall IN" and the joining of the young men of the commonwealth (America declined until much later)was called "the great fall-in" The expression ought to be corrected in these lyrics..it sounds better and makes sense in this marvellous and haunting commentry on the insanity of war as did "and the Band played Waltzing Matilda"..The words so often showing in thse lyrics great "fallen" makes no sense.
If one would check the history books, one might learn that a GREAT number of the British men of that generation fell in battle during the Great War. The dead have been referred to as, “The Great Fallen,” not “The Great Fall In.” The term “The Great Fallen” makes sense in the context of William McBride, and the untold others who FELL in GREAT numbers during the “War to End Wars”
In realtion to the chords for this song it is in the key of f and starts a run down from there then to playing f with a g then chords/c/Bb/f the bridge is c/Bb/f/c/Bb/c/Bb/c/f/Dm7 this is possibly not spot on but it might be of some use

This beautiful and haunting song was infact written by Eric Bogle…a Scotsman who emmigrated to Australia back in the 1960’s when a young man. The original song was called "No mans land". The Fureys have done an excellent cover of Erics song…Eric Bogle also wrote "and the band played Waltzing Matilda" and "The leaving of Nancy" amgonst many others. The Fureys made a couple of very minor changes to Ercs lyrics but the lyrics are about 95% unchanged…

By far the definitive version of this beautiful song is done by English folk singer June Tabor.Sticking exactly to the original version (she calls it by its proper name ‘No Mans Land’)she sings it with minimum backing which only serves to highlight the lyric and haunting poignancy.Available on a CD called June Tabor – Anthology she also does another famous Bogle song ‘The Band Played Waltzing Matilda’ which she sings acapella and has to be heard to appreciate.I cried at first listen and I’m a rugby playing macho man! Highly recommended.

Does anyone know of any other recordings of this tune. I heard one the other morn on National Public radio…a female in traditional folk style with little if any accompaniment. I’d love to find out who that was….hauntingly beautiful, twas!

Ok the earlier post was slightly incorrect but this will be updated as of now.if you are going to just strum through the piece then the chords are as follows. However if you are going to finger pick this song through note that the F# and B you will see is a single note added as in G down to F# then into Em, or C down to B then into Am and so fourth.
Here are the chords corrected!
Intro G F# Em C B Am D G C D /G F# Em C B Am D G C D
Verse G F# Em C B Am D G C D /G F# Em C B Am A7 D C G D
Chorus
G F# Em C B Am D C D/G F# Em C B Am C G F# Em Bm Am D G
play intro
Then repeat chorus play intro as an outro and fade out. This now completes the update of chords to My Sweet Sixteen.

From the first chord if you are playing as finger pick you must note there are single notes also to be played apart from the chords so with this in mind here they are i hope i make no mistakes.

One verse into a bridge then chorus, after chorus instrumental go back to bridge and repeat through to chorus, play out outro. One of the most beautiful Irish songs ever written.

This popular thread has been given its own page : greenfields of france lyrics & chords by the furreys
I think this song is lovley, and I only heard the english version untill quite reccently. Since I was little i can remember singing the welsh version of the song. In the welsh lyrics, it talks of a young boy named Thomos John Williams, and how he died in the Somme, dying for England. The title in Welsh is ‘Gwaed ar eu dwylo’ which means ‘ Blood on their hands’ which doesnt sound as well in english. But they both mention the same thing, That the smaller countries, are always sacrificed first to help the biggest countries.

Here are the lyrics my friend, and its Fureys, not furreys…as for chords I am looking for them myself but play it in D quite well. Good luck and have a great time in Ireland.
Artist: The Fureys
Album: Miscellaneous
Tracks
Song: The Green Fields
Of France
Well, how do you do, young Willie McBride
Do you mind if I sit here, down by your graveside
And rest for awhile ‘neath the warm summer sun
I’ve been walking all day, and I’m nearly done
I see by your gravestone you are only nineteen
When you joined the great fallen in nineteen-sixteen
I hope you died well and I hope you died clean
Or, young Willie McBride, was it slow and obscene
Chorus: Did they beat the drum slowly, did they play the fife flowly
Did they sound the Death March as they lowered you down
Did the band play The Last Post in chorus
Did the pipes play the Flowers of the Forest
Did you leave ‘ere wife or a sweetheart behind
In some faithful heart is your memory enshrined
Although you died back in nineteen-sixteen
In that faithful heart are you forever nineteen
Or are you a stranger without even a name
Enclosed then forever behind a glass frame
In an old photograph, torn, battered and stained
And faded to yellow in brown leather frame
(Chorus)
The sun, now it shines on the green fields of France
There’s a warm summer breeze that makes the red poppies dance
And look how the sun shines from under the clouds
There’s no gas, no barbed wire, there’s no gun firing now
But here in this graveyard it’s still no man’s land
The countless white crosses stand mute in the sand
To man’s blind indifference to his fellow man
To a whole generation that were butchered and damned
(Chorus)
Ah, young Willie McBride, I can’t help wonder why
Do those that lie here know why did they die
And did they believe when they answered the cause
Did they really believe that this war would end wars
Well, the sorrow, the suffering, the glory, the pain
The killing and dying was all done in vain
For, young Willie McBride, it all happened again
And again and again and again and again!
(Chorus)
The words "the great fallen" are not a reflection of the WW1 expression. Eric Bogle may even have it wrongly, I haven’t seen his original lyrics. The army order is "Fall IN" and the joining of the young men of the commonwealth (America declined until much later)was called "the great fall-in" The expression ought to be corrected in these lyrics..it sounds better and makes sense in this marvellous and haunting commentry on the insanity of war as did "and the Band played Waltzing Matilda"..The words so often showing in thse lyrics great "fallen" makes no sense.
If one would check the history books, one might learn that a GREAT number of the British men of that generation fell in battle during the Great War. The dead have been referred to as, “The Great Fallen,” not “The Great Fall In.” The term “The Great Fallen” makes sense in the context of William McBride, and the untold others who FELL in GREAT numbers during the “War to End Wars”
In realtion to the chords for this song it is in the key of f and starts a run down from there then to playing f with a g then chords/c/Bb/f the bridge is c/Bb/f/c/Bb/c/Bb/c/f/Dm7 this is possibly not spot on but it might be of some use

thx for the lirics of fields of france, but there is a mistake/error in the song, seen the history scottish/irish

This beautiful and haunting song was infact written by Eric Bogle…a Scotsman who emmigrated to Australia back in the 1960’s when a young man. The original song was called "No mans land". The Fureys have done an excellent cover of Erics song…Eric Bogle also wrote "and the band played Waltzing Matilda" and "The leaving of Nancy" amgonst many others. The Fureys made a couple of very minor changes to Ercs lyrics but the lyrics are about 95% unchanged…

By far the definitive version of this beautiful song is done by English folk singer June Tabor.Sticking exactly to the original version (she calls it by its proper name ‘No Mans Land’)she sings it with minimum backing which only serves to highlight the lyric and haunting poignancy.Available on a CD called June Tabor – Anthology she also does another famous Bogle song ‘The Band Played Waltzing Matilda’ which she sings acapella and has to be heard to appreciate.I cried at first listen and I’m a rugby playing macho man! Highly recommended.

hi my name is russ and i am only 16 and this song means so much to me it is silly i listen to it when my dad plays it on his zero zette accordian and this song is just a beautifull song and means so much to me. it tells a story that i never would of dreamed of . sometimes at home i just sit and listen to it i think it is a fantastic song .
I reckon it works better in G. Here’s to Eric!
Does anyone know of any other recordings of this tune. I heard one the other morn on National Public radio…a female in traditional folk style with little if any accompaniment. I’d love to find out who that was….hauntingly beautiful, twas!
