EAC#m He said "Son, have you seen the world? DA Well, what would you say if I said that you could? DA 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 DA 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]
AC#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
AC#m The shells jumped through the smoke D And into the sand A That the blood now had soaked DA 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
EAC#m He said "Son, have you seen the world? DA Well, what would you say if I said that you could?
