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