[VERSE]
Just a [D]day, another [G]day
Be[D]neath the [A]Belgian [G]sun
Passed grave on [Em7]grave, row upon [D]row
Until I [G]see the [Em]name, [G]John Con[A]don

[VERSE]
Carved in [D]stone with harp and [G]crown
Little [D]crosses [A]in the [G]ground
And standing [Em7]there, my silent [D]prayer
Is for this [G]boy who [Em]died a [G]sol[A]dier

[CHORUS]
Wee [D]lad will not grow [G]old
[Bm]Heroes who don't come [F#m]home
Here they [G]lie in [Bm]Belgian [D]fields
In fields [A]of [D]wheat

[INSTRUMENTAL]
[D] [G] [Bm] [D] [A] [D]

[VERSE]
Just a recruit in soldiers' [G]blue
From [D]Ireland's [A]shores to [G]here
This living [Em7]hell, this cold (could [D]tell)
Where young men [G]die like [Em]you, [G]John Con[A]don

[VERSE]
And all a[D]round, the harp and [G]crown
The [D]crosses [A]in the [G]ground
Stands up and [Em7]proves the bitter [D]truth
The waste of [G]youth that [Em]lies for[G]got[A]ten

[CHORUS]
Wee [D]lad will not grow [G]old
[Bm]Heroes who won't come [F#m]home
Here they [G]lie in [Bm]Belgian [D]fields
In fields [A]of [D]wheat

[VERSE]
Now tell me [D]John, 'fore I go [G]on
What [D]did you [A]come in here [G]for?
With Ireland's [Em7]home, your life un[D]told
Fourteen years [G]old to [Em]die a [G]sol[A]dier

[BRIDGE]
And all a[D]round, the harp and [G]crown
The [D]crosses [A]in the [G]ground
[G]What cause to serve, so underserved
[Bm]Heroes that don’t come [G]home
[D]Sing out for all their [F#m]souls
Here they [G]lie in [Bm]Belgian [D]fields
In fields [A]of [D]wheat
