          Em
He said, “Son,
	           B
Have you see the world?
                     A  
Well, what would you say
	       Em
If I said that you could?
                A
Just carry this gun 
	            Em
and you’ll even get paid.”
	                    B
I said, “That sounds pretty good.”


	      Em
Black leather boots
	       B
Spit-shined so bright
                A
They cut off my hair 
	       Em
but it looked alright
	           A
We marched and we sang
	      Em
We all became friends
	             B
As we learned how to fight




[chorus]
          F#m
A hero of war
                      A
Yeah that’s what I’ll be
	        Em
And when I come home
	                 B
They’ll be damn proud of me
                F#m
I’ll carry this flag
                  A
To the grave if I must
	                 Em
Because it’s flag that I love
	          B
And a flag that I trust




		
                Em
I kicked in the door
	    B
I yelled my commands
	           A
The children, they cried
	     Em
But I got my man
	    A
We took him away
	       Em
A bag over his face
                        B
From his family and his friends




                  Em
They took off his clothes
	           B
They pissed in his hands
               A
I told them to stop
	          Em
But then I joined in
	         A
We beat him with guns
	            Em
And batons not just once
	      B
But again and again



[chorus]
          F#m
A hero of war
                      A
Yeah that’s what I’ll be
	        Em
And when I come home
	                 B
They’ll be damn proud of me
                F#m
I’ll carry this flag
	          A
To the grave if I must
                         Em
Because it’s flag that I love
	          B
And a flag that I trust

LET OP: deze chorses speel je in Power-chords!!! Behalve de laatste B niet, deze kun je makkelijker in basis-akkoorden nemen.
    Em  
She walked 
                    B
through bullets and haze
	       A
I asked her to stop
	        Em
I begged her to stay
                A
But she pressed on
               Em
So I lifted my gun
            B
And I fired away



    Em
The shells 
                   B
jumped through the smoke
             A
And into the sand
	               Em
That the blood now had soaked
      A
She collapsed 
                   Em
with a flag in her hand
                B
A flag white as snow



[chorus]
          F#m
A hero of war
                 A
Is that what the see
	        E
Just medals and scarves
                 B
So damn proud of me
	                F#m
And I brought home that flag
               A
Now it gathers dust
	               E
But it’s a flag that I love
                     B
It’s the only flag I trust


          Em
He said, “Son, 
	          B
have you seen the world? 
                    A
Well what would you say, 
                   Em
if I said that you could?”
