His [G]eyes they closed and his [C]last breath s[G]poke
He had [G]seen all to be s[Em]een
A l[G]ife once full, now an e[C]mpty v[G]ase
With the [G]blossoms on his e[D]arly g[G]rave
Walk a[C]way me boy, walk a[G]way me boy
And by m[Em]ornin' we'll be f[D]ree
Wipe the g[G]olden tear from your m[C]other d[G]ear
And raise what's [G]left of the f[D]lag for m[G]e.

Then the rosary beads count them one, two, three
Fell apart as they hit the f[Em]loor.
In our g[G]arb of black we must p[C]ay re[G]spect
To the c[G]olor we're b[D]orn to m[G]ourn.
Walk a[C]way me boy, walk a[G]way me boy
And by m[Em]ornin' we'll be f[D]ree
Wipe the g[G]olden tear from your m[C]other d[G]ear
And raise what's l[G]eft of the f[D]lag for m[G]e.

In his [G]place there grew an angry [C]festered [G]wound
Filled with [G]hatred and re[Em]morse
Where I'd [G]pick and scratch till the [C]blood it [G]matched
The silent [G]rage now that [D]fills my [G]lungs
For there are [G]many ways to kill a [C]man they [G]say
With [G]bayonette, axe, or [Em]sword
But son a [G]bullet fired from a [C]shapeless [G]guise
Leaves but the [G]shell of a [D]Thompson [G]gun.
Walk a[C]way me boy, walk a[G]way me boy
And by [Em]mornin' we'll be [D]free
Wipe the [G]golden tear from your [C]mother [G]dear
And raise what's [G]left of the [D]flag for [G]me.

[Em (sustain)]From the Eastern [Em (sustain)]to the Western [D]shore
Where [Em (sustain)]many men and [Em (sustain)]many more will [D]fall.
But no [C]angel flies with [G]me tonight
Till [Em]freedom reigns on [D]all
And [G]curse the name for which we [C]slaved our [G]days
Till every [G]man shall his [D]kingdom [G]come
But sure as [G]night turns day ends the [C]passion [G]play
Oh my [G]god what have they [Em]done
With [G]madman's rage well they [C]dug our [G]graves
But the [G]dead rise a[D]gain you [G]fools
Walk a[C]way me boy, walk a[G]way me boy
And by [Em]mornin' we'll be [D]free
Wipe the [G]golden tear from your [C]mother [G]dear
And raise what's [G]left of the [D]flag for [G]me.
Walk a[C]way me boy, walk a[G]way me boy
And by [Em]mornin' we'll be [D]free
Wipe the [G]golden tear from your [C]mother [G]dear
(N.C)
And raise what's left of the flag for me.
[GCGDG]
