Artist : Flogging MollySong : What's Left Of The Flag
G C G
His eyes they close and his last breath spoke,
G E
He had seen all to be seen
G C G
A life once full, now an empty vase
G D G
Wilt the blossoms on his early grave
C G
Walk away me boy, walk away me boy
E D
And by morning we'll be free
G C G
Wipe that golden tear from your mother dear
G D G
And raise what's left of the flag for me
G CG
Then the rosary beads count them one, two, three
G E
Fell apart as they hit the floor
G C G
In our garb of black we must pay respect
G D G
to the color we're born to mourn
C G
Walk away me boys, walk away me boys
E D
And by morning we'll be free
G C G
Wipe that golden tear from your mother dear
G D G
And raise what's left of the flag for me

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

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

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