Hero Of War Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[F][G]

[Verse 1]
He said [C]son, have you seen the [Em]world?
Well, what would you [F]say
if I said that you [C]could
Just carry this [F]gun,
you'll even get [C]paid
I said that sounds pretty [G]good

[Verse 2]
Black leather [C]boots
Spit-shined [Em]so bright
They cut off my [F]hair
but it looked [C]alright
We marched and we [F]sang
We all became [C]friends
As we learned how to [G]fight

[Chorus 1]
A hero of [Am]war
Yeah that's what I'll [F]be
And when I come [C]home
They'll be damn proud of [G]me
I'll carry this [Am]flag
To the grave if I [F]must
Cause it's a flag that I [C]love
And a flag that [G]I trust

[Verse 3]
I kicked in the [C]door
I yelled my [Em]commands
The children, they [F]cried
But I got my [C]man
We took him a[F]way
A bag over his [C]face
From his family and his [G]friends

[Verse 4]
They took off his [C]clothes
They pissed in his [Em]hands
I told them to [F]stop
But then I [C]joined in
We beat him with [F]guns
And batons not just [C]once
But again [G]and again

[Chorus 2]
A hero of [Am]war
Yeah that's what I'll [F]be
And when I come [C]home
They'll be damn proud of [G]me
I'll carry this [Am]flag
To the grave if I [F]must
Cause it's a flag that I [C]love
And a flag that [G]I trust
[F][G]

[Verse 5]
She [C]walked through bullets and [Em]haze
I asked her to [F]stop
I begged her to [C]stay
But she pressed [F]on
So I lifted my [C]gun
And I fired [G]away

[Verse 6]
And the [C]shells jumped through the [Em]smoke
And into the [F]sand
That the blood now had [C]soaked
She [F]collapsed with a flag in her [C]hand
A flag white as [G]snow

[Chorus 3]
A hero of [Am]war
Is that what they [F]see?
Just medals and [C]scars
So damn proud of [G]me
And I brought home that [Am]flag
Now it gathers [F]dust
But it's a flag that I [C]love
The only flag [G]I trust

[Outro 1]
He said, [C]son, have you seen the [Em]world?
Well what would you [F]say,
if I said that you [C]could
