C He said, "Son, Em Have you see the world? F Well, what would you say C If I said that you could? F Just carry this gun. C and you’ll even get paid." GGadd11GGadd11 I said, "That sounds pretty good."
[Verse 2]
C Black leather boots Em Spit-shined so bright F They cut off my hair C but it looked alright F We marched and we sang C We all became friends GGadd11GGadd11 As we learned how to fight
[Chorus]
Am A hero of war F Yeah that’s what I’ll be C And when I come home G They’ll be damn proud of me Am I’ll carry this flag F To the grave if I must C Because it’s the flag that I love G And a flag that I trust
[Verse 3]
C I kicked in the door Em I yelled my commands F The children, they cried C But I got my man F We took him away C A bag over his face GGadd11GGadd11 From his family and his friends
[Verse 4]
C They took off his clothes Em They pissed in his hands F I told them to stop C But then I joined in F We beat him with guns C And batons not just once G But again and again
[Chorus]
Am A hero of war F Yeah that’s what I’ll be C And when I come home G They’ll be damn proud of me Am I’ll carry this flag F To the grave if I must C Because it’s the flag that I love G And a flag that I trust
C She walked Em through bullets and haze F I asked her to stop C I begged her to stay F But she pressed on C So I lifted my gun GGadd11GGadd11 And I fired away
[Verse 6]
C The shells Em jumped through the smoke F And into the sand C That the blood now had soaked F She collapsed C with a flag in her hand GGadd11GGadd11 A flag white as snow
[Chorus]
Am A hero of war F Is that what they see C Just medals and scars G So damn proud of me Am And I brought home that flag F Now it gathers dust C But it’s a flag that I love G It’s the only flag I trust
[Outro]
CEm He said, "Son, have you seen the world? FC Well what would you say, if I said that you could?"
