Verse1
E
…”Son, have you seen the
G#m
world?
Well, what would you
A
say
If I said that you
E
could?
Just carry this
A
gun,
You’ll even get
E
paid.”.
I said “That sounds pretty
B
good.”
Verse2
Black leather
E
boots,
Spit-shined, so
G#m
bright.
They cut off my
A
hair,
But it looks
E
alright.
We marched and we
A
sang.
We all became
E
friends,
As we learned how to
B
fight.
Chorus
A hero of
C#m
war!
Yeah, that’s what I’ll
A
be.
And when I come
E
home,
They’ll be damn proud of
B
me.
I’ll carry this
C#m
flag;
To the grave, if I
A
must.
‘Cause it’s a flag that I
E
love
And it’s flag that
B
I
trust.
Verse3
I kicked in the
E
door,
I yelled my
G#m
commands.
The children, they
A
cried,
But I got my
E
man.
We took him
A
away,
A bag over his
E
face,
From his family and his
B
friends.
Verse4
They took off his
E
clothes,
They pissed in his
G#m
hands.
I told them to
A
stop,
But then, I joined
E
in.
We beat him with
A
guns
And batons, not just
E
once,
But again and
B
again.
Chorus
A hero of
C#m
war!
Yeah, that’s what I’ll
A
be.
And when I come
E
home,
They’ll be damn proud of
B
me.
I’ll carry this
C#m
flag;
To the grave, if I
A
must.
‘Cause it’s a flag that I
E
love
And I flag that I
B
trust.
Verse 5
E
…walked through bullets and
G#m
haze.
I asked her to
A
stop;
I begged her to
E
stay.
But she pressed
A
on,
So I lifted my
E
gun
And I fired
B
away…
Verse 6
And the
E
shells
Jumped through the
G#m
smoke.
And into the
A
sand,
That the blood now had
E
soaked,
She
A
collapsed,
With a flag in her
E
hand.
A flag white as
B
snow.
Chorus
A hero of
C#m
war!
Is that what they
A
see?
Just medals
E
and
scars?
So damn proud of
B
me.
And I brought home that
C#m
flag.
Now it gathers
A
dust.
But it’s a flag that I
E
love.
It’s the only flag I
B
trust.
Outro
He said
E
”Son, have you seen the
G#m
world?
Well, what would you
A
say
If I said that you
E
could?”
