Hero Of War
Rise Against

E B
         E                      G#m
He said "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."

              E                      G#m
Black leather boots, 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
          C#m
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
                C#m
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

                E
I kicked in the door
            G#m
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
                  E
They took off his clothes
                   G#m
They pissed in his hands
               A                        E
I told them to stop, but then, I joined in
                 A                          E
We beat him with guns, and batons, not just once
               B
But again and again

CHORUS
E B

    E                          G#m
She walked through bullets and haze
               A                     E
I asked her to stop, I begged her to stay
                A
But she pressed on
               E                B
So I lifted my gun, and I fired away

        E
And the shells
                   G#m
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


          C#m
A hero of war
                  A
Is that what they see?
               E
All medals and scars?
                 B
So damn proud of me
                        C#m
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

         E                      G#m
He said "Son, have you seen the world?
                     A
Well, what would you say
                   E
If I said that you could?
