[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
C G Walk away me boy, walk away me boy Em D And by morning 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.
[Verse 2]
N.C.
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 morning 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.
[Chorus]
C G Walk away me boys, walk away me boys Em D And by morning 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.

[Verse 3]
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.
[Chorus]
C G Walk away me boys, walk away me boys Em D And by morning 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.

[Bridge]
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 So every men chose kingdom come

[Verse 4]
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
[Chorus] (x2)
C G Walk away me boys, walk away me boys Em D And by morning 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.
