Hero Of War        Rise Against

                    E                                                     G#m
He said "Son, have you seen the world?
                                           A                                            E
Well, what would you say if I said that you could?
                            A                                                     E
Just carry this gun and you'll even get paid."
                                                              B
I said "That sounds pretty good."

                                  E
Black leather boots
                                  G#m
Spit-shined so bright
                                   A                               E
They cut off my hair but it looked alright
                                             A
We marched and we sang 
                                       E
We all became friends 
                                       B
As we learned how to fight

                     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
Because it's a flag that I love
                                B
And a 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
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

(HOOK * )
    E                                                        G#m
She 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

            E                                                G#m
The shells jumped through the smoke
                            A
And into the sand
                                                         E
That the blood now had soaked
              A                                               E
She collapsed with a flag in her hand
                                B
A flag white as snow


(HOOK * )
                      E                                            G#m
He said, "Son, have you seen the world?
                                           A                                          E
Well what would you say, if I said that you could?"
