          E

He said, 'Son,

                 B

Have you see the world?

                     A

Well, what would you say

                        E

If I said that you could?

                A

Just carry this gun 

                     E

and you'll even get paid.                            B

I said, 'That sounds pretty good.



              E

Black leather boots

               B

Spit-shined so bright

                A

They cut off my hair 

              E

but it looked alright

                  A

We marched and we sang

              E

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

                E

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

                        E

Because it's flag that I love

                  B

And a flag that I trust









                E

I kicked in the door

             B

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

                 B

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]

          F#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

                F#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







        E

She walked 

                    B

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

The shells 

                    B

jumped through the smoke

             A

And into the sand

                        E

That the blood now had soaked

        A

She collapsed 

                   E

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







          E

He said, 'Son, 

                   B

have you seen the world? 

                    A

Well what would you say, 

                   E

if I said that you could?'
