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