Flags – Brooke Fraser
(Capo 6 for the original key)
G D
Come, tell me your trouble
Am
I'm not your answer
C G
But I'm a listening ear
G D
Reality has left you reeling
Am
All facts and no feeling
C G
No faith and all fear
Am
I don't know why a good man will fall
Em
While a wicked one stands
Am
And our lives blow about
D
Like flags on the land
G D
Who's at fault is not important
Am
Good intentions lie dormant
C G
And we're all to blame
G D
While apathy acts like an ally
Am C G
My enemy and I are one and the same
Am
I don't know why the innocents fall
Em
While the monsters still stand
Am
And our lives blow about
D
Like flags on the land

Am
I don't know why our words are so proud
Em
Yet their promise so thin
Am
And our lives blow about
D
Like flags in the wind
Am
Oh oh oh oh
Em
Oh oh oh oh
C-G-D
Oh oh oh oh
C G
You who mourn will be comforted
D Am
You who hunger will hunger no more
C G
All the last shall be first
D
Of this I am sure
C G
You who weep now will laugh again
D Am
All you lonely be lonely no more
C G
Yes, the last will be first
D
Of this I'm sure
Am
I don't know why the innocents fall
Em
While the monsters stand
Am
I don't know why the little ones thirst
C D Em
But I know the last shall be first
C D Em
I know the last shall be first
C D Em
I know the last shall be first
I tabbed this by ear.. So it is most likely not absolutely right... but it will
help give you an idea of what the song is like! :) Hope this helps!
