Red Flag chords by Billy Talent (Ver. 2)

Guitar chords with lyrics

Tuning: Drop D

hey this is my first tab, so plz rate!
My verse might not be completely right, but it'sI've got so far for it.
this song's in Drop D tuning.  The bridge isn't perfect and itbe a bit
rough and hard to do. The strumming was really hard to put down in this
song, I tried my best. :)

Chorus: (first time just drums)
Cast off the crutch that kills the pain,
The red flag waving never meant the same.
The kids of tomorrow don't need today,
When they live in the sins of yesterday.

Cast off the crutch that kills the pain
🎸

Chorus x2
Cast off the crutch that kills the pain,
The red flag waving never meant the same.
The kids of tommorow don't need today,
When they live in the sins of yesterday.

Verse x2 (from 'Our only weapons are the guns of youth', same chords and stuff but lyrics)
Like the smallest bee packs a sting,
Like a pawn checkmates a king,
We'll attack at the crack of dawn.
Build a ladder if there's a wall,
Don't be afraid to slip and fall,
Speak for yourself or they'll speak for you.

Pre-Chorus
The red flag waving never meant the same,
The red flag waving never meant the same,
Aaah!

Chorus x2

Bridge x6 (on x3 or third time- whichever way you call it- the lyrics start)

E|--5-5-----------4-4---0-0-0---5-5-7-8--7-5-5|
B|--5-5-6-3-3-3-6-5-5-3-1-1-1-3-6-6-8-10-8-6-6|

D|--7-7-7-5-0-5-7-----5-------5---------------|
A|--------------------------------------------|
D|--------------------------------------------|

Like a fire, don't need water
Like a jury, needs a liar
Like riot, don't need order
Like a madman, needs a martyr.

(now the bass comes in)
We don't need them! x8

Chorus (first time only drums, then guitar comes for the second time and the third and its the end of the song)
