Old Weathered Flag

[Intro ]
E 


 
E                                       A 
He was a just a boy in that godforsaken place 
             E                                 B7 
He came back home and had a hippie spit in his face 
        E                                           A 
I don't mind you speaking your mind, so I'll do the same 
  B7 
I swear to my maker, if I see such a thing, there's gonna be hell to pay 
 

 
            E                                            A 
He's an old weathered flag, he's a faded red, white, and blue 
          B7                                    E 
Got those frayed ends while fighting for me and you 
                                              A 
He don't fly as high as he once flew way back then 
            B7                                        E 
Just an old weathered flag, fighting a war that won't end 
 

 
E                                                  A 
Well, that twenty-one gun salute was such a somber sound 
          E                                           B7 
Did we forget about the ones out there still walking around? 
         E                                          A 
Like the one with the cardboard sign and the coffee can 
       B7 
Or the hero on the park bench, all dressed up and looking like some old man 
 

 
            E                                            A 
He's an old weathered flag, he's a faded red, white, and blue (Red, white, and blue) 
          B7                                    E 
Got those frayed ends while fighting for me and you 
                                              A 
He don't fly as high as he once flew way back then (Way back then) 
            B7                                        E 
Just an old weathered flag, fighting a war that won't end 


{Instrumental Break} 
E     A   B7   E      A    B7   E 

{Out-Chorus} 
            E                                            A 
He's an old weathered flag, he's a faded red, white, and blue 
          B7                                    E 
Got those frayed ends while fighting for me and you 
                                              A 
He don't fly as high as he once flew way back then 
            B7                                        E 
Just an old weathered flag, fighting a war that won't end 
            E                                            A 
He's an old weathered flag, he's a faded red, white, and blue (Red, white, and blue) 
          B7                                    E 
Got those frayed ends while fighting for me and you 
                                              A 
He don't fly as high as he once flew way back then (Way back then) 
            B7                                        E 
Just an old weathered flag, fighting a war that won't end 
                 B7                                        E 
He's just an old weathered flag, fighting a war that won't end
