What’s Left of the Flag
Flogging Molly
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 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.
[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.
Chorus
Verse Progression
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
C G
For there are many ways to
kill a man they say
Em
With bayonette, 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
Verse Progression
BRIDGE:
Em D
From the Eastern to the
Western shore
Em 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
A D
A F#m
A D
A E A

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
Chorus x2
G C G D G
