Verse 1
He said, "[C]Son,
Have you see the [Em]world?
Well, what would you say[F]
If I said that you [C]could?
Just carry this gun.[F]
and you?ll even get paid."[C]
I said, "That sounds pretty [G]good." [Gadd11] [G] [Gadd11]
Verse 2
Black leather [C]boots
Spit-shined s[Em]o bright
They cut off my hair [F]
but it looked [C]alright
We marched and we sang[F]
We all became friends[C]
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 flag[Am]
To the grave if I [F]must
Because it?s the flag that I [C]love
And a flag that [G]I trust
Verse 3
I kicked in the door[C]
I yelled my commands[Em]
The children, they [F]cried
But I got m[C]y man
We took him away[F]
A bag over his face[C]
From his family and his [G]friends[Gadd11] [G] [Gadd11]
Verse 4
They took off his clothes[C]
They pissed in his [Em]hands
I told them to [F]stop
But then I joi[C]ned in
We beat him with guns[F]
And batons not just [C]once
But again and [G]again
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 flag[Am]
To the grave if I [F]must
Because it?s the flag that I [C]love
And a flag that [G]I 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 on[F]
So I lifted my [C]gun
And I fired a[G]way[Gadd11] [G] [Gadd11]
Verse 6
The s[C]hells
jumped through the s[Em]moke
And into the sand[F]
That the blood now had [C]soaked
She collap[F]sed
with a flag in her [C]hand
A flag white as s[G]now[Gadd11] [G] [Gadd11]
Chorus
A hero of [Am]war
Is that what they [F]see
Just medals and scars[C]
So damn proud of [G]me
And I brought home that f[Am]lag
Now it gathers [F]dust
But it?s a flag that I [C]love
It?s the only flag [G]I trust
Outro
He said, "[C]Son, have you seen the world[Em]?
Well what would you [F]say, if I said that you [C]could?"
