Intro
E B
Verse 1
E
He said, ?Son,
Abm
Have you see the world?
A
Well, what would you say
E
If I said that you could?
A E
Just carry this gun and you?ll even get paid.?
B
I said, ?That sounds pretty good.?
E
Black leather boots
Abm
Spit-shined so bright
A E
They cut off my hair but it looked alright
A
We marched and we sang
E
We all became friends
B
As we learned how to fight
Chorus
C#m
A hero of war
A
Yeah that?s what I?ll be
E
And when I come home
B
They?ll be damn proud of me
C#m
I?ll carry this flag
A
To the grave if I must
E
Because it?s flag that I love
B
And a flag that I trust
Verse 2
E
I kicked in the door
Abm
I yelled my commands
A
The children, they cried
E
But I got my man
A
We took him away
E
A bag over his face
B
From his family and his friends
E
They took off his clothes
Abm
They pissed in his hands
A
I told them to stop
E
But then I joined in
A
We beat him with guns
E
And batons not just once
B
But again and again
CHORUS
C#m
A hero of war
A
Yeah that?s what I?ll be
E
And when I come home
B
They?ll be damn proud of me
C#m
I?ll carry this flag
A
To the grave if I must
E
Because it?s flag that I love
B
And a flag that I trust
Verse 3
E Abm
She walked through bullets and haze
A
I asked her to stop
E
I begged her to stay
A
But she pressed on
E
So I lifted my gun
B
And I fired away
E Abm
The shells jumped through the smoke
A
And into the sand
E
That the blood now had soaked
A E
She collapsed with a flag in her hand
B
A flag white as snow
Chorus
C#m
A hero of war
A
Is that what they see
E
Just medals and scars
B
So damn proud of me
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
E Abm
He said, ?Son, have you seen the world?
A E
Well what would you say, if I said that you could?"
