Intro
[E] [B]
Verse 1
He said, â?[E]?Son,
Have you see the [G#m]world?
Well, what would you[A] say
If I said that you c[E]ould?
Just carry this g[A]un and youâ??ll even get[E] paid.â??
I said, â??That sounds prett[B]y good.â??
Black leather [E]boots
Spit-shined so [G#m]bright
They cut off my ha[A]ir but it looked al[E]right
We marched and we [A]sang
We all became f[E]riends
As we learned [B]how to fight
Chorus
A hero of [C#m]war
Yeah thatâ??s what Iâ?[A]?ll be
And when I come ho[E]me
Theyâ??ll be damn proud [B]of me
Iâ??ll carry this[C#m] flag
To the grave if I [A]must
Because itâ??s flag that I[E] love
And a flag that I tr[B]ust
Verse 2
I kicked in the d[E]oor
I yelled my comm[G#m]ands
The children, they cr[A]ied
But I got my[E] man
We took him aw[A]ay
A bag over his[E] face
[B]
They took off his cl[E]othes
They p**sed in his [G#m]hands
I told them to s[A]top
But then I joi[E]ned in
We beat him with [A]guns
And batons not just o[E]nce
But again and a[B]gain
CHORUS
A hero of [C#m]war
Yeah thatâ??s what Iâ?[A]?ll be
And when I come ho[E]me
Theyâ??ll be damn proud [B]of me
Iâ??ll carry this[C#m] flag
To the grave if I [A]must
Because itâ??s flag that I[E] love
And a flag that I tr[B]ust
Verse 3
She wa[E]lked through bullets and [G#m]haze
I asked her to s[A]top
I begged her to [E]stay
But she pressed[A] on
So I lifted my [E]gun
And I fired a[B]way
The s[E]hells jumped through the s[G#m]moke
And into the [A]sand
That the blood now had [E]soaked
She c[A]ollapsed 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 and sc[E]ars
So damn proud of[B] me
And I brought home that flag
Now it gathers d[A]ust
But itâ??s a flag that [E]I love
Itâ??s the only flag [B]I trust
[E]He said, â??Son, have you seen the [G#m]world?
Well what would you sa[A]y, if I said that you cou[E]ld?"
