Hello guys, this is my first post here :). So Tim Mcilrath plays this song in E flat tuning and he sings a
whole octave higher - he actually reaches tones from 3 octaves. Sadly I have a limited vocal range so I
I had to use a capo and sing in the same octave as the guitar but this way the sound is not that rich. So
I moved the key of the song not by putting a capo but by changing the chords so that I can sing one
octave higher than the guitar without reaching my limits. I guess this won't work for every song but in this
it goes pretty well. Anyway..
Chords used:
A: C#m: D: E: F#m:
e-0 e-4 e-2 e-0 e-2
B-2 B-5 B-3 B-0 B-2
G-2 G-6 G-2 G-1 G-2
D-2 D-6 D-0 D-2 D-4
A-0 A-4 A-x A-2 A-4
E-0 E-4 E-x E-0 E-2
EHe said &Aquot;Son, have you seenC#m the world?
Well, what would you Dsay if I said that you Acould?
Just carry this Dgun , you'll even get Apaid."
I said "That sounds prEetty good."
Black leather Aboots
Spit-shined sC#mo bright
They cut off my haiDr but it looked Aalright
We marched and we Dsang
We all became Afriends
As we learned how Eto fight
A hero of F#mwar
Yeah that's what I'll Dbe
And when I come Ahome
They'll be damn proud of Eme
I'll carry this F#mflag
To the grave if I Dmust
Cause it's a flag that AI love
And a flag that I Etrust
I kicked in the Adoor
I yelled my C#mcommands
The children, they Dcried
But I got myA man
We took him Daway
A bag over his facAe
From his family and his Efriends
They took off his clothAes
They pissed in his C#mhands
I told them to stoDp
But then I joined Ain
We beat him with gDuns
And batons not just oAnce
But again and Eagain
A hero of F#mwar
Yeah that's what I'll Dbe
And when I come Ahome
They'll be damn proud of Eme
I'll carry this F#mflag
To the grave if I Dmust
Because it's a flag that I Alove
And a flag that EI trust
SheA walked through bullets and C#mhaze
I asked her to Dstop
I begged her to Astay
But she pressed onD
So I lifted my Agun
And I fired Eaway
The Ashells jumped through the sC#mmoke
And into the Dsand
That the blood now had Asoaked
She collapseDd with a flag in her Ahand
A flag white as Esnow
A hero of F#mwar
Is that what they Dsee
Just medals and Ascars
So damn proud of Eme
And I brought home that F#mflag
Now it gathers Ddust
But it's a flag that I Alove
It's the only flag I Etrust
EHe said &Aquot;Son, have you seeC#mn the world?
Well, what would you Dsay if I said that you Acould?
I think its essential for this song that the guitar is an octave lower that the voice so this way is better
than a capo, hope you like it :)
