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

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

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

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

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

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

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