[Intro 1]
[G][C][G][D][G]

[Verse 1]
For the [G]dear old flag I die
Said the [C]wounded drummer [G]boy
Mother, press your [C]lips [G]to mine
Oh, they bring me peace and [D]joy

[Verse 2]
'Tis [G]the last [C]time on [G]earth
I shall [C]ever see your [G]face
Mother, take [C]me to your [G]heart
Let me die in [D]your em[G]brace

[Verse 3]
[G]For the dear old flag I [C]die
Mother, [Em]dry your w[D]eeping e[G]ye
For the [C]honor of our [G]land[D]
And the [Em]dear [D]old flag I [G]die

[Verse 4]
[G]
[D]Do not [G]mourn, my mother, dear
Every [C]pang will soon be [G]over
For I hear the angel band
Calling from their [C]starry [D]shore

[Verse 5]
Now [G]I see their [C]banners [G]wave
In [C]the light of perfect [G]day
Though it is hard [C]to part with [G]you
Yet I would not [D]wish to [G]stay

[Verse 6]
For the dear old flag [C]I die
Mother, [Em]dry your w[D]eeping e[G]ye
For the [C]honor of our [G]land
And the [Em]dear [D]old flag I [G]die

[Interlude 1]
[G][C][Em]
[D][G][C][G][Em][D][G]

[Verse 7]
[G]Farewell, mother, death's cold hand
Weighs [C]upon my spirit [G]now
And I feel his blighting breath
Fan my pallid cheek and [D]brow

[Verse 8]
Closer, [G]closer to your heart
Let me [C]feel that you are [G]by
While my sight is [C]growing [G]dim
For the dear [D]old flag I [G]die

[Verse 9]
[G]For the dear old flag I [C]die
Mother, [Em]dry your w[D]eeping e[G]ye
For the [C]honor of our [G]land
And the [Em]dear [D]old flag I [G]die
For the [C]honor of our [G]land
And [Em]the dear old [D]flag I [G]die
