Flogging Molly - Whats Left Of The Flag

G0                        C1          G2
0His eyes they closed and his last breath spoke
                      Em3
1He had seen all to be seen
G4                        C5    G6
2a life once full, now an empty vase
                         D7     G8
3With the blossoms on his early grave
     C9                 G10
4Walk away me boy, walk away me boy
       Em11              D12
5And by mornin' we'll be free
         G13                    C14      G15
6Wipe the golden tear from your mother dear
                             D16       G17
7And raise what's left of the flag for me.

11Then the rosary beads count them one, two, three
                           Em18
12Fell apart as they hit the floor.
       G19                     C20  G21
13In our garb of black we must pay respect
                   D22      G23
14To the color we're born to mourn.
     C24           G25
15Walk away me boys, walk away me boys
       Em26              D27
16And by mornin' we'll be free
         G28                    C29      G30
17Wipe the golden tear from your mother dear
                             D31       G32

G42                               C43        G44
22In his place there grew an angry festered wound
                       Em45
23Filled with hatred and remorse
          G46                        C47        G48
24Where I'd pick and scratch till the blood it matched
                         D49       G50
25The silent rage now that fills my lungs
G51                                 C52        G53
26For there are many ways to kill a man they say
                        Em54
27With bayonet, axe, or sword
   G55                         C56         G57
28But son a bullet fired from a shapeless guise
                          D58       G59
29Leaves but the shell of a Thompson gun.

33And by mornin' we'll be free
         G64                    C65      G66
34Wipe the golden tear from your mother dear
                             D67       G68

Em86                    D87
45Till freedom reigns on all
              G88                C89          G90
46And curse the name for which we slaved our days
                         D91      G92
47Till every man shall his kingdom come

53Oh my god what have they done
     G115                       C116      G117
54With madman's rage well they dug our graves
