1st verse ;
         C                     Em
He said "Son, have you see the world?
                    F                      C
Well what would you say if I said that you could?
                F                         C              
Just carry this gun and you'll even get paid."
                            G       G     
I said, "That sounds pretty good."                       


2nd verse :
              C                   Em
Black leather boots, spit-shined so bright
                F                  C
They cut off my hair but it looked alright
                  F                   C              
We marched and we sang, we all became friends
                  G         G     
As we learned how to fight


Chorus :
          Am                         F
A hero of war, Yeah that's what I'll be
                C                             G
And when I come home they'll be damn proud of me
                Am                     F
I'll carry this flag to the grave if I must
                             C                    G>let ring
Because it's the flag that I love and a flag that I trust



3rd verse :
                C                  Em
I kicked in the door, I yelled my commands
                   F                C
The children, they cried but I got my man
             F                  C              
We took him away a bag over his face
                        G         G     
From his family and his friends


4th verse :
                   C                          Em
They took off his clothes, they pissed in his hands
                F               C
I told them to stop but then I joined in
                 F                        C              
We beat him with guns and batons not just once
                  G         G     
But again and again 


Chorus :
          Am                         F
A hero of war, Yeah that's what I'll be
                C                             G
And when I come home they'll be damn proud of me
                Am                     F
I'll carry this flag to the grave if I must
                             C                    G
Because it's the flag that I love and a flag that I trust

Bridge : 
    C                          Em
She walked through bullets and haze
                F                     C
I asked her to stop, I begged her to stay 
                F                 C
But she pressed on so I lifted my gun 
             G        G    
And I fired away


5th verse :
        C                         Em
And the shells jumped through the smoke
               F                       C
And into the sand that the blood now had soaked
      F                          C              
She collapsed with a flag in her hand
                G        G     
A flag white as snow


Chorus :
          Am                     F
A hero of war, is that what they see ?
                 C                     G
Just medals and scars so damn proud of me
                        Am                  F
And I brought home that flag now it gathers dust
                        C                      G>let ring
But it's a flag that I love It's the only flag I trust


Outro :
         C                     Em
He said, "Son, have you seen the world? 
                    F                      C>let ring
Well what would you say, if I said that you could?"
