G C G
His eyes shot up and his last breath spoke
Em
He had seen all to be seen
G C G
A life once full, now an empty vase
D G
With the blossoms on his early grave
C G
Walk away me boy, walk away me boy
Em D
And by mornin’ we’ll be free
G C G
Wipe the golden tear from your mother dear
D G
And raise what’s left of the flag for me.
[N.C.] X X X
Then the rosary beads count them one, two, three
Em
Fell apart as they hit the floor.
G C G
In our garb of black we must pay respect
D G
To the color we’re born to mourn.
C G
Walk away me boy, walk away me boy
Em D
And by mornin’ we’ll be free
G C G
Wipe the golden tear from your mother dear
D G
And raise what’s left of the flag for me.

G C G
In his place there grew an angry festered wound
Em
Filled with hatred and remorse
G C G
Where I’d pick and scratch till the blood it matched
D G
The silent rage now that fills my lungs
C G
For there are many ways to kill a man they say
Em
With bayonette, axe, or sword
G C G
But son a bullet fired from a shapeless guise
D G
Leaves but the shell of a Thompson gun.
C G
Walk away me boy, walk away me boy
Em D
And by mornin’ we’ll be free
G C G
Wipe the golden tear from your mother dear
D G
And raise what’s left of the flag for me.

Em (hold) Em (hold) D
From the Eastern to the Western shore
Em (hold) Em (hold) D
Where many men and many more will fall.
C G
But no angel flies with me tonight
Em D
Till freedom reigns on all
G C G
And curse the name for which we slaved our days
D G
Till every man shall his kingdom come

G C G
But sure as night turns day ends the passion play
Em
Oh my god what have they done
G C G
With madman’s rage well they dug our graves
D G
But the dead rise again you fools
C G
Walk away me boy, walk away me boy
Em D
And by mornin’ we’ll be free
G C G
Wipe the golden tear from your mother dear
D G
And raise what’s left of the flag for me.
C G
Walk away me boy, walk away me boy
Em D
And by mornin’ we’ll be free
G C G
Wipe the golden tear from your mother dear
[N.C]
And raise what’s left of the flag for me.
