Capo 4

Tonality
C Em F G Am



Verse:
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."
G
I said, "That sounds pretty good."

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
G
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:
 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

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

Verse:
    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
G
And I fired away

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