G5 C5 G5  
His eyes they closed and his last breath spoke  
E5  
He had seen all to be seen  
G5 C5 G5  
A life once full, now an empty vase  
D5 G5  
With the blossoms on his early grave  
C5 G5  
Walk away me boy, walk away me boy  
E5 D5  
And by mornin' we'll be free  
G5 C5 G5  
Wipe the golden tear from your mother dear  
D5 G5  
And raise what's left of the flag for me.

Then the rosary beads count them one, two, three  
E5  
Fell apart as they hit the floor.  
G5 C5 G5  
In our garb of black we must pay respect  
D5 G5  
To the color we're born to mourn.  
C5 G5  
Walk away me boy, walk away me boy  
E5 D5  
And by mornin' we'll be free  
G5 C5 G5  
Wipe the golden tear from your mother dear  
D5 G5

G5 C5 G5  
In his place there grew an angry festered wound  
E5  
Filled with hatred and remorse  
G5 C5 G5  
Where I'd pick and scratch till the blood it matched  
D5 G5  
The silent rage now that fills my lungs  
C5 G5  
For there are many ways to kill a man they say  
E5  
With bayonette, axe, or sword  
G5 C5 G5  
But son a bullet fired from a shapeless guise  
D5 G5  
Leaves but the shell of a Thompson gun.  

 
C5 G5  
Walk away me boy, walk away me boy  
E5 D5  
And by mornin' we'll be free  
G5 C5 G5  
Wipe the golden tear from your mother dear  
D5 G5  
And raise what's left of the flag for me.

E5 (hold) E5 (hold) D5  
From the Eastern to the Western shore  
E5 (hold) E5 (hold) D5  
Where many men and many more will fall.  
C5 G5  
But no angel flies with me tonight  
E5 D5  
Till freedom reigns on all  
G5 C5 G5  
And curse the name for which we slaved our days  
D5 G5  
Till every man shall his kingdom come

G5 C5 G5  
But sure as night turns day ends the passion play  
E5  
Oh my god what have they done  
G5 C5 G5  
With madman's rage well they dug our graves  
D5 G5  
But the dead rise again you fools  
 

C5 G5  
Walk away me boy, walk away me boy  
E5 D5  
And by mornin' we'll be free
