[A] [E] [B] [F#] [E] He said, son, have you [G#m] seen the 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 [B] pretty good.
Black leather [E] boots, spit shines [G#m] so bright.
They cut off my [A] hair, but it [E] looked all right.
We marched and we [A] sang, we all became [E] friends.
As we learned how [B] to fight.
A hero [C#m] of war, yeah, that's what [A] I'll be.
And [B] when I [E] come home, they'll be damn proud [B] of me.
I'll carry this [C#] flag to the grave if [A] I must.
Cause it's a flag that [E] I love, and a flag that [B] I trust.
I kicked in [E] the door, I yelled my [G#] [G#m] commands.
The children, [A] they cried, but [E] I got my amen.
We took him [A] away, a bag over his [E] face.
From his family [B] and his friends.
They took off his [E] clothes, they pissed in [G#m] his hands.
I told them [A] to stop, but [E] then I joined in.
We beat him with [A] guns and batons, not [E] just once.
But again [B] and again.
A hero [C#m] of war, yeah, that's what [A] I'll be.
And when [B] I [E] come home, they'll be damn proud [B] of me.
I'll carry [C#] this flag to the grave if [A] I must.
Cause it's a flag that [E] I love, and a flag [B] that I trust.
[F#m] [E] [B] [E]
She walked, her bullets [G#m] in haze.
I asked her [A] to stop, I begged her [E] to [C#m] stay.
But she pressed [A] on, so I lifted [C#m] my gun [E] and I fired [B] away.
[E] And the shells jumped through [G#m] the smoke and into [E] the sand.
That the blood now has oaked.
[A] She collapsed with the flag in [E] her hand.
Flag [B] white as snow.
A hero [C#m] of war, is that what [A] they see?
Just medals [E] and scars, so damn [B] proud of me.
And I brought [C#m] home that flag.
Now it [A] gathers dust, [E] but it's a flag that I love.
It's the only [B] flag I have trust.
[E] You said, son, have you [G#m] seen the world?
Or what [A] would you say, if I said [E] that you couldn't?
Well, what would you [A] say if I said that you [E] could?
Just carry this [A] gun, you'll even get [E] paid.
