Tuning: G C E A
GHis eyes they closed and Chis last brGeath spoke
He had seen all to be Emseen
Ga life once full, now an CemptyG vase
With the blossoms on his Dearly Ggrave
Walk Caway me boy, walk Gaway me boy
And by Emmornin' we'll beD free
Wipe the Ggolden tear from yourC motherG dear
And raise what's left of the Dflag forG me.
-no chords-
Then the rosary beads count them one, two, three
Fell apart as they hit the Emfloor.
In our Ggarb of black we must CpayG respect
To the color we're Dborn toG mourn.
Walk Caway me boysG, walk away me boys
And by Emmornin' we'll beD free
Wipe the Ggolden tear from yourC motherG dear
And raise what's left of the Dflag forG me.

GIn his place there grew an angryC festeredG wound
Filled with hatred and Emremorse
Where I'd Gpick and scratch till theC blood itG matched
The silent rage now that Dfills myG lungs
GFor there are many ways to kill a Cman they Gsay
With bayonet, axe, or swEmord
ButG son a bullet fired from aC shapelessG guise
Leaves but the shell of a DThompsonG gun.
Walk Caway me boysG, walk away me boys
And by Emmornin' we'll beD free
Wipe the Ggolden tear from yourC motherG dear
And raise what's left of the Dflag forG me.

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.
But no Cangel flies withG me tonight
EmTill freedom reigns onD all
And curse the Gname for which weC slaved ourG days
Till every man shall his DkingdomG come

But sure as Gnight turns day ends theC passionG play
Oh my god what have they Emdone
With Gmadman's rage well they Cdug ourG graves
But the dead rise Dagain you Gfools
Walk Caway me boysG, walk away me boys
And by Emmornin' we'll beD free
Wipe the Ggolden tear from yourC motherG dear
And raise what's left of the Dflag forG me.
Walk Caway me boysG, walk away me boys
And by Emmornin' we'll beD free
- hold - G - hold - C G - hold -
Wipe the golden tear from your mother dear
- no chord -
And raise what's left of the flag for me.
