          E                          G#m  
He said 'Son, have you seen the world?  
                       A                         E  
Well, what would you say 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  
               G#m  
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  

           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  
'Cause it's a flag that I love  
                    B  
And a flag that I trust  

                    E  
I kicked in the door  
                 G#m  
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  
                      G#m  
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  

           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  
'Cause it's a flag that I love  
                    B  
And a flag that I trust

  E                             G#m  
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  

    RIFF E                        G#m  
And 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  

            C#m 
A hero of war  
                    A  
Is that what they see  
                   E  
Just medals and scars  
                  B  
So damn proud of me  
                         C#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                         G#m  
He said, 'Son, have you seen the world?  
                     A                        E  
Well what would you say, if I said that you could?'
