He said...
Verse:
EAbm
..."Son, have you seen the world?
A
Well, what would you say
E
If I said that you could?
A
Just carry this gun,
E
You'll even get paid.".
B
I said "That sounds pretty good."
Verse:
E
Black leather boots,
Abm
Spit-shined, so bright.
A
They cut off my hair,
E
But it looks alright.
A
We marched and we sang.
E
We all became friends,
B
As we learned how to fight.
Chorus:
Dbm
a hero of war!
A
Yeah, that's what I'll be.
E
And when I come home,
B
They'll be damn proud of me.
Dbm
I'll carry this flag;
A
To the grave, if I must.
E
'Cause it's a flag that I love
B
And I flag that I trust.
Verse:
E
I kicked in the door,
Abm
I yelled my commands.
A
The children, they cried,
E
But I got my man.
A
We took him away,
E
a bag over his face,
B
From his family and his friends.
Verse:
E
They took off his clothes,
Abm
They pissed in his hands.
A
I told them to stop,
E
But then, I joined in.
A
We beat him with guns
E
And batons, not just once,
B
But again and again.
Chorus:
Dbm
a hero of war!
A
Yeah, that's what I'll be.
E
And when I come home,
B
They'll be damn proud of me.
Dbm
I'll carry this flag;
A
To the grave, if I must.
E
'Cause it's a flag that I love
B
And I flag that I trust.

She...
Verse:
EAbm
...walked through bullets and haze.
A
I asked her to stop;
E
I begged her to stay.
A
But she pressed on,
E
So I lifted my gun
B
And I fired away...
Verse:
E
And the shells
Abm
Jumped through the smoke.
A
And into the sand,
E
That the blood had now soaked,
A
She collapsed,
E
With a flag in her hand.
B
a flag white as snow.
Chorus:
Dbm
a hero of war!
A
Is that what they see?
E
All medals and scars?
B
So damn proud of me.
Dbm
And I brought that flag home.
A
Now it gathers dust.
E
But it's a flag that I love.
B
It's the only flag I trust.
Outro:
EAbm
He said "Son, have you seen the world?
A
Well, what would you say
E
If I said that you could?
