G# C# G#
His eyes shot up and his last breath spoke
Fm
He had seen all to be seen
G# C# G#
A life once full, now an empty vase
D# G#
With the blossoms on his early grave
C# G#
Walk away me boy, walk away me boy
Fm D#
And by morninʼ weʼll be free
G# C# G#
Wipe the golden tear from your mother dear
D# G#
And raise whatʼs left of the flag for me.

N.C.
Then the rosary beads count them one, two, three
Fm
Fell apart as they hit the floor.
G# C# G#
In our garb of black we must pay respect
D# G#
To the color weʼre born to mourn.
C# G#
Walk away me boy, walk away me boy
Fm D#
And by morninʼ weʼll be free
G# C# G#
Wipe the golden tear from your mother dear
D# G#
And raise whatʼs left of the flag for me.

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

C# G#
Walk away me boy, walk away me boy
Fm D#
And by morninʼ weʼll be free
G# C# G#
Wipe the golden tear from your mother dear
D# G#
And raise whatʼs left of the flag for me.

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

G# C# G#
But sure as night turns day ends the passion play
Fm
Oh my god what have they done
G# C# G#
With madmanʼs rage well they dug our graves
D# G#
But the dead rise again you fools

C# G#
Walk away me boy, walk away me boy
Fm D#
And by morninʼ weʼll be free
G# C# G#
Wipe the golden tear from your mother dear
D# G#
And raise whatʼs left of the flag for me.
C# G#
Walk away me boy, walk away me boy
Fm D#
And by morninʼ weʼll be free
G# C# G#
Wipe the golden tear from your mother dear
N.C.
And raise whatʼs left of the flag for me.
