Verse 1
C 
There's a flagpole in the front yard
F 
of a little five -row cottage
C 
in a quiet suburban backstreet
G 
here in my hometown.
C 
And six o 'clock each morning,
F 
no matter what the weather
C 
If you happen to go round there,
G 
C 
you'll see Byron raise the flag
For as long as I remember,
F 
Byron Doyle has lived there
C 
With his rain gauge and his bird -box
and his gerbils by the gate
G 
C 
A  crooked lawn and a matching hedge
F 
Of white and purple flowers, yeah
C 
That's his corner of the world
G 
C 
Csus4 
And he's mighty proud of it
C 
F 
If you want conversation
C 
All you do is say hello
Dm 
And you'll be  an hour older
G 
Before he lets you go
C 
But it's worth your while, believe me
F 
That's why you'll often see me around
C 
Six o 'clock some morning

D 
There are some days
G 
when it feels like the world is going crazy
D 
And we're watching as it happens
A 
Online or in the news
D 
Like a scene from a movie
G 
We don't quite believe it
But it's real
D 
And it's out there
A 
D 
And there's nothing we can do
G 
When life is so uncertain
D 
And the world is sea of change
Em 
It's good to know that some
A 
things still remain the same
D 
When it all becomes too much for me
G 
This comfort and simplicity
D 
At six o 'clock some morning
A 
D 
Watching Byron raise the flag
Maybe you would like to join me
Watching Byron raise the flag
