A                                D       A 
Mother tell my children that I did all I could
A      D       A                      E       A
Mother tell my children that their father was good
           A                                      D              A                    
Well, I'll write you from the valley and I'll write you from the shore
     A D          A                             E      A
When I set out to sail that sea I will write to you no more


Chorus:
    E
The flags are flying, cannons high
D               A
We all take our stands
A               F#m
Some are crying battle cries
E                A
Some are holding hands


They come to take our freedom, they come to take our land
There are some things worth believing I have come to understand
I've heard them tell the stories of ships of men of steel
Who torture for the beauty, I hope the all are real

Chorus

I see on the horizon more than I can say
They hand me down my rifle, I take my number for a name
Now my pen must go down, now I must go on
The son you knew is setting, the battle has begun
