Quatro anos de trabalho duro!Neste mês de maio fizemos quatro anos no ar. Continuamos trabalhando na divulgação deste maravilhoso instrumento, obrigado por participar da nossa história!
E He said, “Son, G#m Have you see the world? A Well, what would you say E If I said that you could? AE Just carry this gun and you’ll even get paid.” B I said, “That sounds pretty good.”
E Black leather boots G#m Spit-shined so bright AE They cut off my hair but it looked alright A We marched and we sang E We all became friends B As we learned how to fight
[Chorus]
C#m A hero of war A Yeah that’s what I’ll be E And when I come home B They’ll be damn proud of me C#m I’ll carry this flag A To the grave if I must E Because it’s flag that I love B And a flag that I trust
[Verse 2]
E I kicked in the door G#m I yelled my commands A The children, they cried E But I got my man A We took him away E A bag over his face B From his family and his friends E They took off his clothes G#m They pissed in his hands A I told them to stop E But then I joined in A We beat him with guns E And batons not just once B But again and again
[Chorus]
C#m A hero of war A Yeah that’s what I’ll be E And when I come home B They’ll be damn proud of me C#m I’ll carry this flag A To the grave if I must E Because it’s flag that I love B And a flag that I trust
[Verse 3]
EG#m She walked through bullets and haze A I asked her to stop E I begged her to stay A But she pressed on E So I lifted my gun B And I fired away EG#m The shells jumped through the smoke A And into the sand E That the blood now had soaked AE She collapsed with a flag in her hand B A flag white as snow
[Chorus]
C#m A hero of war A Is that what they see E Just medals and scars B So damn proud of me C#m And I brought home that flag A Now it gathers dust E But it’s a flag that I love B It’s the only flag I trust EG#m He said, “Son, have you seen the world? AE Well what would you say, if I said that you could?"
