G C G
His eyes they closed and his last breath spoke
G Em
He had seen all to be seen
G C G
A life once full, now an empty vase
G 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
G D G
And raise what\'s left of the flag for me.
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
G 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
G D G
And raise what\'s left of the flag for me.
Violin riff part 1
(see bottom of page)
G C G
In his place there grew an angry festered wound
G Em
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 Em
With bayonette, 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 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
G D G
And raise what\'s left of the flag for me.
Violin riff part 1
(see bottom of page)
Em Em D
From the Eastern to the Western shore
Em Em 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
G D G
Till every man shall his kingdom come
Violin riff part 3
(see bottom of page)
G C G
But sure as night turns day ends the passion play
G Em
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 boy
Em D
And by mornin\' we\'ll be free
G C G
Wipe the 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 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.
