Dm I kicked in the door A I yelled my commands G The children, they cried Dm But I got my man G We took him away Dm A bag over his face A From his family and his friends

Dm He said, Son, A Have you see the world? G Well, what would you say Dm If I said that you could? G Just carry this gun Dm and youll even get paid. A I said, That sounds pretty good.

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

Dm They took off his clothes A They pissed in his hands G I told them to stop Dm But then I joined in G We beat him with guns Dm And batons not just once A But again and again

[chorus]

Dm She walked [chorus] Em A through bullets and haze

G I asked her to stop Dm I begged her to stay G But she pressed on Dm So I lifted my gun A And I fired away

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

[chorus] Em A hero of war G Is that what the see D Just medals and scars A So damn proud of me Em And I brought home that flag G Now it gathers dust D But its a flag that I love A Its the only flag I trust

Dm He said, Son, A have you seen the world? G Well what would you say, Dm if I said that you could?
