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.....
