Verse 2
Black leather boots (E major)
Spit-shined so (G sharp minor) bright
They cut off my hair (Asus2)
but it looked alright (E major)
We marched and we sang (Asus2)
We all became friends (E major)
As we learned how to (B major) fight
Chorus 1
A hero of war (C sharp minor)
Yeah that's what I'll be (Asus2)
And when I come home (E major)
They'll be damn proud of me (B major)
I'll carry this flag (C sharp minor)
To the grave if I must (Asus2)
Cause it's a flag that I love (E major)
And a flag that I (B major) trust
Verse 3
I kicked in the door (E major)
I yelled my commands (G sharp minor)
The children, they (Asus2) cried
But I got my (E major) man
We took him away (Asus2)
A bag over his face (E major)
From his family and his (B major) friends
Verse 4
They took off his clothes (E major)
They pissed in his hands (G sharp minor)
I told them to stop (Asus2)
But then I joined (E major) in
We beat him with guns (Asus2)
And batons not just (E major) once
But again and (B major) again
Chorus 2
A hero of war (C sharp minor)
Yeah that's what I'll be (Asus2)
And when I come home (E major)
They'll be damn proud of me (B major)
I'll carry this flag (C sharp minor)
To the grave if I must (Asus2)
Cause it's a flag that I love (E major)
And a flag that I (B major) trust
(Asus2) (B major)
Verse 5
She walked (E major) through bullets and haze (G sharp minor)
I asked her to stop (Asus2)
I begged her to (E major) stay
But she pressed on (Asus2)
So I lifted my (E major) gun
And I fired away (B major)
Verse 6
And the shells (E major) jumped through the smoke (G sharp minor)
And into the sand (Asus2)
That the blood now had (E major) soaked
She collapsed (Asus2) with a flag in her hand (E major)
A flag white as (B major) snow
Chorus 3
A hero of war (C sharp minor)
Is that what they see? (Asus2)
Just medals and scars (E major)
So damn proud of me (B major)
And I brought home that flag (C sharp minor)
Now it gathers dust (Asus2)
But it's a flag that I love (E major)
The only flag I (B major) trust
Outro 1
He said, (E major) son, have you seen the world? (G sharp minor)
Well what would you say, (Asus2)
if I said that you (E major) could
