[Intro] Am F C G Am F C G F [Verse 1]
Am               Fmaj7
He's gone, he is dead

Am             Fmaj7
His remains upon the hearse ahead

Am       Fmaj7        C
As silently we wander through the mist

     G
He's free

Am          Fmaj7
This is the end

Am            Fmaj7
Your journey's over, night descends

Am            Fmaj7
Below into the abyss

    C                     E5  F5  E5
Farewell, my friend, you will be missed
[Chorus]
  Am
Lower the flags

       F
A good man has passed

        C                  G
He has reached the last of frontiers

   Am
Lower the flags

     F
Down to half-mast

    C                   G                    F5
For again the world has taken a turn for the worse
[Verse 2]
Am               Fmaj7
He's gone, he is dead

Am          Fmaj7
Six feet of earth upon his head

Am           Fmaj7
Now lay your wreaths

         C              G
Upon the one who lies beneath

Am              Fmaj7
Although you're gone

Am         Fmaj7
In memories you shall live on

Am        Fmaj7
Asleep in peace now rest

    C                      E5  F5  E5
The weight of the world is off your chest
[Chorus]

For again the world has taken a turn for the worse

E5       F5 E5           G5 F5 E5 F5
That mourning light I'll always remember

E5          F5 E5        G5 F5 E5 F5
And these August nights; cold as December
