G C G His eyes they closed and his last breath spoke Em 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 Em D And by mornin' we'll be free G C G Wipe the golden tear from your mother dear D G And raise what's left of the flag for me. [no chords] 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 D G To the color we're born to mourn. C G Walk away me boys, walk away me boys Em D And by mornin' we'll be free G C G Wipe the golden tear from your mother dear D G And raise what's left of the flag for me. Interlude: G C G Em G C G D G G C G In his place there grew an angry festered wound Em Filled with hatred and remorse G C G Where I'd pick and scratch till the blood it matched D G The silent rage now that fills my lungs G C G For there are many ways to kill a man they say Em With bayonet, 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 boys, walk away me boys Em D And by mornin' we'll be free G C G Wipe the golden tear from your mother dear D G And raise what's left of the flag for me. Interlude: G C G Em G C G D G Em ( hold ) Em ( hold ) D From the Eastern to the Western shore Em ( hold ) Em ( hold ) 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 D G Till every man shall his kingdom come Interlude: A D A Gbm A D A E A D A Gbm E A D A E A G C G But sure as night turns day ends the passion play Em Oh my god what have they done G C G With madman's rage well they dug our graves D G But the dead rise again you fools C G Walk away me boys, walk away me boys Em D And by mornin' we'll be free G C G Wipe the golden tear from your mother dear D G And raise what's left of the flag for me. C G Walk away me boys, walk away me boys Em D And by mornin' we'll be free ( hold ) G ( hold ) C G ( hold ) Wipe the golden tear from your mother dear ( no chord ) And raise what's left of the flag for me.
