Watching Byron Raise The Flag Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]There's a flagpole in the front yard
of a [F]little five -row cottage
in a [C]quiet suburban backstreet
here in my homet[G]own.
And [C]six o 'clock each morning,
[F]no matter what the weather
If you [C]happen to go round there,
you'll see [G]Byron raise the [C]flag
For as long as I remember,
[F]Byron Doyle has lived there
With his [C]rain gauge and his bird -box
and his gerbils by the gate
[G]A c[C]rooked lawn and a matching hedge
Of [F]white and purple flowers, yeah
[C]That's his corner of the world
And [G]he's mighty proud [C]of it[Csus4]
[C]If [F]you want conversation
All [C]you do is say hello
And you'll [Dm]be an hour older
[G]Before he lets you go
But it's [C]worth your while, believe me
That's [F]why you'll often see me around
[C]Six o 'clock some morning
[G]Watching Byron raise [C]the flag[A]
[D][G][D]
[A][D][G][D][A]
[D]
There are some days
when it feels like the [G]world is going crazy
And we're [D]watching as it happens
Online or in [A]the news
Like [D]a scene from a movie
[G]We don't quite believe it
But it's real
[D]And it's out there
And there's [A]nothing we [D]can do
When [G]life is so uncertain
And the [D]world is sea of change
It's [Em]good to know that some
things [A]still remain the same
When it [D]all becomes too much for me
This [G]comfort and simplicity
At [D]six o 'clock some morning
Watching [A]Byron raise the [D]flag
Maybe you would like to join me
Watching Byron raise the flag
You
