Verse 1
..."[E]..."Son, have you seen the [G#m]world?
Well, what would you [A]say
If I said that you [E]could?
Just carry this [A]gun,
You'll even get [E]paid.".
I said "That sounds pretty [B]good."
 
Verse 2
Black leather [E]boots,
Spit-shined, so [G#m]bright.
They cut off my [A]hair,
But it looks al[E]alright.
We marched and we [A]sang.
We all became [E]friends,
As we learned how to [B]fight.
 
Chorus 1
A hero of [C#m]war!
Yeah, that's what I'll [A]be.
And when I come [E]home,
They'll be damn proud of [B]me.
I'll carry this [C#m]flag;
To the grave, if I [A]must.
'Cause it's a flag that I [E]love
And it's flag that [B] I trust.
 
Verse 3
I kicked in the [E]door,
I yelled my [G#m]commands.
The children, they [A]cried,
But I got my [E]man.
We took him [A]away,
A bag over his [E]face,
From his family and his [B]friends.
 
Verse 4
They took off his [E]clothes,
They pissed in his [G#m]hands.
I told them to [A]stop,
But then, I joined [E]in.
We beat him with [A]guns
And batons, not just [E]once,
But again and a[B]again.
 
Chorus 1
A hero of [C#m]war!
Yeah, that's what I'll [A]be.
And when I come [E]home,
They'll be damn proud of [B]me.
I'll carry this [C#m]flag;
To the grave, if I [A]must.
'Cause it's a flag that I [E]love
And I flag that I [B]trust.
 
 
She...
 
[Verse5]
...[E]...walked through bullets and [G#m]haze.
I asked her to [A]stop;
I begged her to [E]stay.
But she pressed [A]on,
So I lifted my [E]gun
And I fired [B]away...
 
Verse 6
And the [E]shells
Jumped through the [G#m]smoke.
And into the [A]sand,
That the blood now had [E]soaked,
She coll[A]collapsed,
With a flag in her [E]hand.
A flag white as [B]snow.
 
Chorus 2
A hero of [C#m]war!
Is that what they [A]see?
Just medals and[E]and scars?
So damn proud of [B]me.
And I brought home that [C#m]flag.
Now it gathers [A]dust.
But it's a flag that I [E]love.
It's the only flag I [B]trust.
 
Outro
He said "[E]"Son, have you seen the [G#m]world?
Well, what would you [A]say
If I said that you [E]could?"
