Em
He said, ?Son,
B
Have you see the world?
A
Well, what would you say
Em
If I said that you could?
A
Just carry this gun
Em
and you?ll even get paid.?
B
I said, ?That sounds pretty good.?
Em
Black leather boots
B
Spit-shined so bright
A
They cut off my hair
Em
but it looked alright
A
We marched and we sang
Em
We all became friends
B
As we learned how to fight
[chorus]
F#m
A hero of war
A
Yeah that?s what I?ll be
Em
And when I come home
B
They?ll be damn proud of me
F#m
I?ll carry this flag
A
To the grave if I must
Em
Because it?s flag that I love
B
And a flag that I trust
Em
I kicked in the door
B
I yelled my commands
A
The children, they cried
Em
But I got my man
A
We took him away
Em
A bag over his face
B
From his family and his friends
Em
They took off his clothes
B
They pissed in his hands
A
I told them to stop
Em
But then I joined in
A
We beat him with guns
Em
And batons not just once
B
But again and again
[chorus]
F#m
A hero of war
A
Yeah that?s what I?ll be
Em
And when I come home
B
They?ll be damn proud of me
F#m
I?ll carry this flag
A
To the grave if I must
Em
Because it?s flag that I love
B
And a flag that I trust
Em
She walked
B
through bullets and haze
A
I asked her to stop
Em
I begged her to stay
A
But she pressed on
Em
So I lifted my gun
B
And I fired away
Em
The shells
B
jumped through the smoke
A
And into the sand
Em
That the blood now had soaked
A
She collapsed
Em
with a flag in her hand
B
A flag white as snow
[chorus]
F#m
A hero of war
A
Is that what the see
E
Just medals and scars
B
So damn proud of me
F#m
And I brought home that flag
A
Now it gathers dust
E
But it?s a flag that I love
B
It?s the only flag I trust
Em
He said, ?Son,
B
have you seen the world?
A
Well what would you say,
Em
if I said that you could??
