Verse 1.

    C                      Em
..."Son, have you seen the world?
                     F
Well, what would you say
                   C
If I said that you could?
                F
Just carry this gun,
                C
You'll even get paid.".
                           G
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 looks alright.
                  F
We marched and we sang.
              C
We all became friends,
                     G
As we learned how to fight.


Chorus 1.

          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
'Cause it's a flag that I love
                   G
And I 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,
                        G
From his family and his friends.


Verse 4.

                  C
They took off his clothes,
                   Em
They p**sed 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 1.

          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
'Cause it's a flag that I love
                   G
And I flag that  I trust.

                              She...


Verse 5.

   C                          Em
...walked 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
            G
And I fired away...


Verse 6.

        C
And the shells
                   Em
Jumped through the smoke.
             F
And into the sand,
                       C
That the blood had now soaked,
        F
She collapsed,
                   C
With a flag in her hand.
                G
A flag white as snow.


Chorus 2.

          Am
A hero of war!
                  F
Is that what they see?
               C
All medals and scars?
                 G
So damn proud of me.
                        Am
And I brought that flag home.
               F
Now it gathers dust.
                       C
But it's a flag that I love.
                     G
It's the only flag I trust.


Outro.

         C                      Em
He said "Son, have you seen the world?
                     F
Well, what would you say
                   C
If I said that you could?
