He said, “[Em]Son,
Have you see the [B]world?
Well, what would you [A]say
If I said that you c[Em]ould?
Just carry this [A]gun
and you’ll even get p[Em]aid.”
I said, “That sounds pretty [B]good.”
Black leather [Em]boots
Spit-shined so [B]bright
They cut off my [A]hair
but it looked [Em]alright
We marched and we [A]sang
We all became [Em]friends
As we learned how to [B]fight
(chorus)
A hero of [F#m]war
Yeah that’s what I’ll[A] be
And when I come [Em]home
They’ll be damn proud of [B]me
I’ll carry this [F#m]flag
To the grave if I [A]must
Because it’s flag that I[Em] love
And a flag that I [B]trust
I kicked in the [Em]door
I yelled my c[B]ommands
The children, they [A]cried
But I got my m[Em]an
We took him [A]away
A bag over his f[Em]ace
From his family and his[B] friends
( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/r/rise_against/hero_of_war_crd_ver_6.html )
They took off his [Em]clothes
They pissed in hi[B]s hands
I told them to s[A]top
But then I join[Em]ed in
We beat him with [A]guns
And batons not just[Em] once
But again and a[B]gain
(chorus)
A hero of [F#m]war
Yeah that’s what I’ll [A]be
And when I come ho[Em]me
They’ll be damn proud of[B] me
I’ll carry this [F#m]flag
To the grave if I [A]must
Because it’s flag that I l[Em]ove
And a flag that I t[B]rust
She walk[Em]ed
through bullets and [B]haze
I asked her to s[A]top
I begged her to [Em]stay
But she pressed [A]on
So I lifted my g[Em]un
And I fired a[B]way
The shel[Em]ls
jumped through the s[B]moke
And into the [A]sand
That the blood now had s[Em]oaked
She coll[A]apsed
with a flag in her [Em]hand
A flag white as [B]snow
(chorus)
A hero of [F#m]war
Is that what the [A]see
Just medals and [E]scars
So damn proud of[B] me
And I brought home that [F#m]flag
Now it gathers d[A]ust
But it’s a flag that I l[E]ove
It’s the only flag I tru[B]st
He said, “[Em]Son,
have you seen the w[B]orld?
Well what would you [A]say,
if I said that you [Em]could?”
