Hero Of War - Rise Against | Guitar Chords

[Verse 1]
---------------------
G#sus2A#       D#                            Gm 
       He said "Son, have you seen the world?
                        G#sus2                  D#
Well, what would you say     if I said that you could?
                   G#sus2
Just carry this gun     and you'll even get paid"
D#                          A#
 I said "That sounds pretty good"
              D#
Black leather boots

[Verse 2]
---------------------
             Gm 
Spitshined so   bright
                    G#sus2              D#
They cut off my hair     but it looks alright
We marched and we sang
G#sus2
     We all became friends
D#                    A#
 As we learned how to fight
A hero of war

[Chorus (1)]
---------------------
Cm 
   Yeah that's what I'll be
G#sus2
     And when I come home
D#
 They'll be damn proud of me
A#
 I'll carry this flag
Cm 
   To the grave if I must
G#sus2                         D#
     'cause it's a flag that I love
                 A#
And a flag that I trust
I kicked in the door

[Verse 3]
---------------------
D#
 I yelled my commands
Gm 
   The children, they cried
G#sus2           D#
     But I got my man
We took him away
G#sus2
     A bag over his face
D#                       A#
 From his family and his friends
They took off his clothes

[Verse 4]
---------------------
D#                  Gm 
 They pissed in his hands
I told them to stop
G#sus2                D#
     But then I joined in
We beat him with guns
G#sus2                   D#
     And batons not just once
             A#
But again and again
A hero of war

[Chorus (2)]
---------------------
Cm 
   Yeah that's what I'll be
G#sus2
     And when I come home
D#
 They'll be damn proud of me
A#
 I'll carry this flag
Cm 
   To the grave if I must
G#sus2                             D#
     'cause it's a flag that I love
                 A#
And a flag that I trust

[Verse 5]
---------------------
G#sus2A#   D#sus2                     Gm 
       She walked through bullets and haze
I asked her to stop
G#add11               D#
      I begged her to stay
But she pressed on
G#add11              D#
      So I lifted my gun
             A#
And I fired away

[Verse 6]
---------------------
              D#
And the shells jumped through the smoke
Gm 
   And into the sand
G#sus2                      D#
     That the blood now had soaked
             G#sus2                  D#
She collapsed     with a flag in her hand
                A#
A flag white as snow
A hero of war

[Chorus (3)]
---------------------
Cm                   G#sus2
   Is that what they see  
Just medals and scars
D#                  A#
 So damn proud of me
                            Cm 
And I brought home that flag
Now it gathers dust
G#sus2                          D#
     But it's a flag that I love
                    A#
It's the only flag I trust

[Outro]
---------------------
         Cm 
He said, "Son, have you seen the world?
Gm                         G#sus2                  D#
   Well what would you say,     if I said that you could?"
