Awesome song. Some of the other tabs were right, but this is a bit easier to play.
moved it lower down the fretboard, onto the higher strings. Don't think it's been done on
others?
I know I've not tabbed the guitar 2 part, but if I had, I'd have kept the intro further
the neck. This is for single guitarists, mainly. :)
Standard tuning.
Tabbed by Tucker.
Edit: Fixed everything I missed before. Sorry, I should have checked it over properly!

..."Son, have you seen the world?

Well, what would you say

If I said that you could?

Just carry this gun,
E
You'll even get paid.".

I said "That sounds pretty good."
Verse 2.
E
Black leather boots,
Abm
Spit-shined, so bright.

They cut off my hair,

But it looks alright.

We marched and we sang.

We all became friends,
B
As we learned how to fight.

A hero of war!

To the grave, if I must.

I kicked in the door,
Abm
I yelled my commands.

The children, they cried,

But I got my man.

We took him away,
E
A bag over his face,
B
From his family and his friends.
Verse 4.
E
They took off his clothes,
Abm
They pissed in his hands.

I told them to stop,
E
But then, I joined in.

We beat him with guns

And batons, not just once,
B
But again and again.

She...
Verse 5.
E Abm

So I lifted my gun
B
And I fired away...
Verse 6.
E
And the shells
Abm
Jumped through the smoke.

And into the sand,

That the blood had now soaked,

She collapsed,

With a flag in her hand.
B
A flag white as snow.
Chorus 2.

A hero of war!

Is that what they see?

All medals and scars?

So damn proud of me.

Now it gathers dust.

But it's a flag that I love.
B
It's the only flag I trust.
