I looked all over and could not find correct chords for this song. Mostly just on the little
bridge part ("time won't hurry back...") but now it's all good. See below. I have been tabbing
and chording out songs for a long time so hopefully you find this to be more accurate than the
other versions.

From the Back of a Broken Dream
Flogging Molly
INTRO
C F C Am
C F G
C F C Am
C G C
C
As your soul drifts from the plate
F C
To the floor where she is standing
C
Rising by the fire
G
From the torch you were burning
C
Many years but many tears
F C
And many more will soon be arriving
But I drink this final drop
F G C
To enter your front door
CHORUS
G
Gone are the days
F C
When I poured from the rain
G
Where once, once marched a man
F G G
Going down life's drain
C F
Oh in time in time you will see
C F
Just what you mean to me
C F G C
For I have let an angel clip my wings
C F C Am - C G C (like second half of intro)
C
Come back young volunteer
F C
For your war now it is over
Lay down your blackened gun
G
Not another bad word spoken
C
Come tell of all you've seen
F C
To the soul you're no longer killing
And rest your weary voice
F G C
The last battle song has cried
CHORUS
G
Gone are the days
F C
When I poured from the rain
G
Where once, once marched a man
F G G
Going down life's drain
C F
Oh in time in time you will see
C F
Just what you mean to me
C F G C
For I have let an angel clip my wings
F
Oh an angel clipped my wings
C
From the back of this broken dream
F G
So no ground need ever break my fall again
C F C Am
For I return to sing this tune
F G
From the back of a broken (dream)

Brush the cobwebs from the wall

Oh for I survived to sing this tune
F G C C
From the back of a broken dream

For an angel clipped my wings
C
From the back of a broken dream
