Verse 1
He said, "SEon,
Have you see the G#mworld'
Well, what would youA say
If I said that you cEould'
Just carry this gAun and you'll even get pEaid."
I said, "That sounds pretty Bgood."
Black leather Eboots
Spit-shined so G#mbright
They cut off my haAir but it looked alEright
We marched and we Asang
We all became fEriends
As we learned Bhow to fight
Chorus
A hero of C#mwar
Yeah that's what I'll Abe
And when I come hoEme
They'll be damn proud ofB me
I'll carry this fC#mlag
To the grave if I Amust
Because it's flag that I lEove
And a flag that I trBust
Verse 2
I kicked in the dEoor
I yelled my commG#mands
The children, they crAied
But I got myE man
We took him awAay
A bag over hisE face
From his family and his Bfriends
They took off his clEothes
They pissed in his G#mhands
I told them to sAtop
But then I joiEned in
We beat him with Aguns
And batons not just oEnce
But again and aBgain
CHORUS
A hero of C#mwar
Yeah that's what I'll Abe
And when I come hoEme
They'll be damn proud ofB me
I'll carry this fC#mlag
To the grave if I Amust
Because it's flag that I lEove
And a flag that I trBust
Verse 3
She waElked through bullets and G#mhaze
I asked her to sAtop
I begged her to Estay
But she pressedA on
So I lifted my Egun
And I fired aBway
The sEhells jumped through the sG#mmoke
And into the Asand
That the blood now had Esoaked
She cAollapsed with a flag in herE hand
A flag white asB snow
Chorus
A hero of C#mwar
Is that what they Asee
Just medals and scEars
So damn proud ofB me
And I brought home that C#mflag
Now it gathers dAust
But it's a flag that I Elove
It's the only flag I Btrust
EHe said, "Son, have you seen the woG#mrld'
Well what would you saAy, if I said that you couEld'"
