What's Left Of The Flag Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
His [G]eyes they close and his [C]last breath [G]spoke
He had seen all to be [Em]seen
A [G]life once full
Now an [C]empty [G]vase
Wilt the blossoms on his [D]early [G]grave

[Chorus 1]
Walk a[C]way me boy
walk a[G]way me boy
And by [Em]morning we'll be [D]free
Wipe that [G]golden tear from your [C]mother [G]dear
And raise what's left of the [D]flag for [G]me

[Verse 2]
Then the rosary beads
count to one, two, three
Fell apart as they hit the [Em]floor
In a [G]garb of black we must [C]pay [G]respect
To the color we're [D]born to [G]mourn

[Chorus 2]
Walk a[C]way me boys
walk a[G]way me boys
And by [Em]morning we'll be [D]free
Wipe that [G]golden tear from your [C]mother [G]dear
And raise what's left of the [D]flag for [G]me

[Verse 3]
In a [G]spiked ruin
an angry [C]festered [G]wound
Full of hatred and re[Em]morse
Where I [G]pick and scratch at the [C]blooded [G]mess
Silent rage now that [D]fills my [G]lungs

[Verse 4]
For there are [G]many ways to kill a [C]man they [C]say
With bayonet, axe or [Em]sword
But son a [G]bullet fired from a [C]shapeless [G]gun
Just put the shell of a [D]thompson [G]gun

[Chorus 3]
Walk a[C]way me boys
walk a[G]way me boys
And by [Em]morning we'll be [D]free
Wipe that [G]golden tear from your [C]mother [G]dear
And raise what's left of the [D]flag for [G]me

[Bridge 1]
[Em]From the east out to the western [D]shore
Where [Em]many men and many more will [D]fall
But no [C]angel flies with [G]me tonight
Though [Em]freedom reigns on [D]all
And curse the [G]name for which we
[C]slaved our [G]days
So every men chose [D]kingdom [G]come

[Verse 5]
But sure as [G]night turns day
it's the [C]fashion [G]play
Oh my god what have they [E]done
With [G]madmen's rage well the [C]dogged [G]craze
But the dead rise a[D]gain you [G]fools

[Chorus 4]
Walk a[C]way me boys
walk a[G]way me boys
And by [Em]morning we'll be [D]free
Wipe that [G]golden tear from your [C]mother [G]dear
And raise what's left of the [D]flag for [G]me

[Chorus 5]
Walk a[C]way me boys
walk a[G]way me boys
And by [Em]morning we'll be [D]free
Wipe that [G]golden tear from your [C]mother [G]dear

[Outro 1]
And raise what's left of the flag for
