 D 
A year in the hole had taken its toll 
                           F 
When I took a good look at me 
D 
And what a surprise 
                           F        Eb     A F 
The scope of my eyes could only see black 
        G                      A           F      D 
And I remember someone who was taking them two by two 
    A          F          G              A 
And lately I'd become the one who'd have laughed at you too

There was a black flag on my day

There was a black flag on everything around

Black flag

Black flag 


[Verso 2]
  D 
I walked in the day my usual way 
                    F 
Looking through a 2X4 
D 
It colored my view, I couldn't see you 
   F            Eb     A F 
Or maybe I just wouldn't 
        G                        A        F          D 
And I remember the time when the sunlight fell on my head 
           A      F     G                     A 
And lately I'd become a member of the walking dead

And I knew that it was time to put the thing in its place
