[Intro] 

E B


[Verse 1]

           E
He said, “Son,
                 G#m
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
               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


[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
                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


[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                        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
     E                         G#m
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
                   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?"
