My heritage is threatened

My roots are torn and cornered

    C           G                  C     F
And so to do my best I'll homeward sail

If a yellow flag is fluttering

Sickly herald against the morn

And you'll send your boat ashore
[Verse 4]
             Gsus4      G
But if a red flag is flying

             Gsus4      G
Brazen bold against the blue

     F#     F
Then you'll know that I am staying

       C                G      Bb
And my yacht belongs to you
