G (320003@1)                      C (x32010@1)        G (320003@1)His eyes they closed and his last breath spoke 
                      Em (022000@1)He had seen all to be seen 
G (320003@1)                      C (x32010@1)  G (320003@1)A life once full, now an empty vase 
                         D (xx0232@1)   G (320003@1)With the blossoms on his early grave 
     C (x32010@1)               G (320003@1)Walk away me boy, walk away me boy 
       Em (022000@1)            D (xx0232@1)And by mornin' we'll be free 
         G (320003@1)                  C (x32010@1)    G (320003@1)Wipe the golden tear from your mother dear 
                             D (xx0232@1)     G (320003@1)And raise what's left of the flag for me.

Then the rosary beads count them one, two, three 
                           Em (022000@1)Fell apart as they hit the floor. 
       G (320003@1)                   C (x32010@1)G (320003@1)In our garb of black we must pay respect 
                   D (xx0232@1)    G (320003@1)To the color we're born to mourn. 
     C (x32010@1)         G (320003@1)Walk away me boys, walk away me boys 
       Em (022000@1)            D (xx0232@1)And by mornin' we'll be free 
         G (320003@1)                  C (x32010@1)    G (320003@1)Wipe the golden tear from your mother dear 
                             D (xx0232@1)     G (320003@1)And raise what's left of the flag for me.

                       Em (022000@1)Filled with hatred and remorse 
          G (320003@1)                      C (x32010@1)      G (320003@1)Where I'd pick and scratch till the blood it matched 
                         D (xx0232@1)     G (320003@1)The silent rage now that fills my lungs 
G (320003@1)                               C (x32010@1)      G (320003@1)For there are many ways to kill a man they say 
                        Em (022000@1)With bayonet, axe, or sword 
   G (320003@1)                       C (x32010@1)       G (320003@1)But son a bullet fired from a shapeless guise 
                          D (xx0232@1)     G (320003@1)Leaves but the shell of a Thompson gun. 

     C (x32010@1)         G (320003@1)Walk away me boys, walk away me boys 
       Em (022000@1)            D (xx0232@1)And by mornin' we'll be free 
         G (320003@1)                  C (x32010@1)    G (320003@1)Wipe the golden tear from your mother dear

Em(hold) (022000@1)Em(hold) (022000@1)          D (xx0232@1)From the Eastern to the Western shore 
Em(hold) (022000@1)Em(hold) (022000@1)             D (xx0232@1)Where many men and many more will fall. 

       C (x32010@1)             G (320003@1)But no angel flies with me tonight 
Em (022000@1)                  D (xx0232@1)Till freedom reigns on all 
              G (320003@1)              C (x32010@1)        G (320003@1)And curse the name for which we slaved our days 
                         D (xx0232@1)    G (320003@1)Till every man shall his kingdom come
