Intro 1

Verse 1
C 
I raise the flag up
G 
in the yard each morning
D 
After the sun come up
G 
turn the black earth white
C 
It's a beautiful thing
G 
when you don't ask no questions
D 
Like watching a fire burn
G 
something down at night
C 
Lexie had the job till he
G 
shot his mouth off
D 
He'll be pushing up little green flags
G 
come the spring
C 
Me I keep the long stare in
G 
my mouth shut
D 
Ain't nothing I could say
G 
that could change anything
C 
You tie your flag to the pole,
G 
like your body binds a soul
D 
We're all wantin' more freedom
Em 
than we could ever know
C 
It's hard to find the
beauty in its wavin'
G 
Think on brotherhood and hope
D 
When all you ever feel
G 
C 
G 
D 
G 
is the tug of the rope
C 
G 
And Litzy used to talk a lot about power
D 
He'd say if it were mine,
G 
I'd tell you what I'd do
C 
Gather all these men and
G 
make them suffer
D 
Help their families,
G 
they could suffer too
C 
Now I swear there ain't but one
G 
man born in a million
D 
Whoever let a second
G 
thought trouble his head
C 
And if Lexie could raise his
G 
own flag here this mornin'
D 
G 
I bet he'd paint it gold and red
C 
You tie your flag to a pole,
G 
like your body binds your soul
D 
We're all wantin' more freedom
Em 
than we will ever know
C 
It's hard to find the
beauty in its wavin'
G 
Think on brotherhood and hope
D 
And all you ever feel
is the tug of the road
G
