Verse 1:
He said, [C]"Son,
Have you see the [Em]world?
Well, what would you[F] say
If I said that you [C]could?
Just carry this [F]gun.
and you’ll even get [C]paid."
G Gadd11 g Gadd11 <--(listen to the song
I said, "That sounds pretty good." to get this part)
Verse 2:
Black leather [C]boots
Spit-shined so [Em]bright
They cut off my [F]hair
but it looked a[C]lright
We marched and we [F]sang
We all became [C]friends
As we learned how to [G]fight [Gadd11] [G] [Gadd11]
Chorus:
A hero of [Am]war
Yeah that’s what I’ll [F]be
And when I come [C]home
They’ll be damn proud of [G]me
I’ll carry this [Am]flag
To the grave if I [F]must
Because it’s the flag that I [C]love
And a flag that I [G]trust
Verse 3:
I kicked in the [C]door
I yelled my [Em]commands
The children, they [F]cried
But I got my [C]man
We took him [F]away
A bag over his [C]face
From his family and his [G]friends[Gadd11] [G] [Gadd11]
Verse 4:
They took off his [C]clothes
They pissed in his [Em]hands
I told them to [F]stop
But then I joined [C]in
We beat him with [F]guns
And batons not just [C]once
But again and [G]again[Gadd11] [G]
Chorus:
A hero of [Am]war
Yeah that’s what I’ll [F]be
And when I come [C]home
They’ll be damn proud of [G]me
I’ll carry this [Am]flag
To the grave if I [F]must
Because it’s the flag that I [C]love
And a flag that I [G]trust
Verse 5:
She [C]walked
through bullets and [Em]haze
I asked her to [F]stop
I begged her to [C]stay
But she pressed [F]on
So I lifted my [C]gun
And I fired [G]away [Gadd11] [G]
Verse 6:
The [C]shells
jumped through the [Em]smoke
And into the [F]sand
That the blood now had [C]soaked
She [F]collapsed
with a flag in her [C]hand
A flag white as [G]snow [Gadd11] [G] [Gadd11]
Chorus:
A hero of [Am]war
Is that what the [F]see
Just medals and [C]scars
So damn proud of [G]me
And I brought home that [Am]flag
Now it gathers [F]dust
But it’s a flag that I [C]love
It’s the only flag I [G]trust
outro:
He said, [C]"Son, have you seen th[Em]e world?
Well what would you [F]say, if I said that you [C]could?"
