C#m7
The crowd is looking drowned
C#m7 C#m7
And a mother in tears
Bm D A
There are flip flapping flags in the silence
G# C#m+7
And a national anthem’s a blues in these days
B+7/D# A#
Flag him down, rest in peace
What peace do you mean
When the boys are coming back?
He’s live on T.V.
He’s dead as a hero can be
But…. he didn’t die for nothing my dear
The video of his death is travelling the world
Flag him down, rest in peace
What peace do you mean
When the boys are coming back?
A+7/C#
The boys are coming back
When the boys are coming back
Bm A G#
IN COFFINS
Way back in the crowd
A girl says goodbye to a boy
To a boy who’s parading to heaven
And she puts all the blame on the government
Flag him down, rest in peace
What peace do you mean
When the boys are coming back?
When the boys are parading to heaven my friend
Put all the blame on you
C#m7
On you…..
