Tell Me When The Flag Is Passing By chords by Hank Thompson
Verse 1
G
Oh, won't you tell me
when the flag is passing by?
Oh, won't you tell me
D
when the flag is passing by?
C
While standing there that day
G
I heard the stranger say
Won't you tell me
D
G
when the flag is passing by?
Then he said,
I hear the sound of marching feet
D
And I can hear the trumpets up the street
C
And since this is the fourth
G
day of July
Won't you tell me
D
G
when the flag is passing by?
Before I turned to look I knew I'd find
That the man who spoke these words
D
to me was blind
C
Just let me pretend to see old
G
glory once again
Would you tell me
D
G
when the flag is passing by
Oh, the blazing sun above
that day was warm,
but he was wearing his old army uniform.
D
C
Ribbons pinned by his lapel,
G
a gallant story they did tell,
why he wished to know
D
G
Ab
the flag was passing by.
How many times has this long
-forgotten man
Eb
Went to battle for that flag in some far land?
C#
If it were not for men like he,
Ab
you and I could not be free,
Eb
Ab
So I told him that the flag was passing by.
Oh, I stood there right beside
him in the crowd
Eb
And I felt so very thankful and so proud
C#
In his old red army suit,
Ab
he gave a sharp salute
When I told him that the
Eb
Ab
flag was passing by
Oh, won't you tell me
when the flag is passing by
Oh, won't you tell me
Eb
when the flag is passing by
C#
While standing there that day,
Ab
I heard the stranger say,
Won't you tell me
Eb
Ab
when the flag is passing by?
Won't you tell me
Eb
Ab
when the flag is passing by?
Won't you tell me
Eb
Ab
when the flag is passing by?
Won't you tell me
Eb
Ab
when the flag is passing by?
Won't you tell me
Eb
Ab
when the flag is passing by?
Oh, won't you tell me
when the flag is passing by...
