Mi Sol#m
..."Son, have you seen the world?
La
Well, what would you say
Mi
If I said that you could?
La
Just carry this gun,
Mi
You'll even get paid.".
Si
I said "That sounds pretty good."
Mi
Black leather boots,
Sol#m
Spit-shined, so bright.
La
They cut off my hair,
Mi
But it looks alright.
La
We marched and we sang.
Mi
We all became friends,
Si
As we learned how to fight.
Do#m
A hero of war!
La
Yeah, that's what I'll be.
Mi
And when I come home,
Si
They'll be damn proud of me.
Do#m
I'll carry this flag;
La
To the grave, if I must.
Mi
'Cause it's a flag that I love
Si
And it's flag that I trust.
Mi
I kicked in the door,
Sol#m
I yelled my commands.
La
The children, they cried,
Mi
But I got my man.
La
We took him away,
Mi
A bag over his face,
Si
From his family and his friends.
Mi
They took off his clothes,
Sol#m
They pissed in his hands.
La
I told them to stop,
Mi
But then, I joined in.
La
We beat him with guns
Mi
And batons, not just once,
Si
But again and again.
Do#m
A hero of war!
La
Yeah, that's what I'll be.
Mi
And when I come home,
Si
They'll be damn proud of me.
Do#m
I'll carry this flag;
La
To the grave, if I must.
Mi
'Cause it's a flag that I love
Si
And I flag that I trust.
She...
Mi Sol#m
...walked through bullets and haze.
La
I asked her to stop;
Mi
I begged her to stay.
La
But she pressed on,
Mi
So I lifted my gun
Si
And I fired away...
Mi
And the shells
Sol#m
Jumped through the smoke.
La
And into the sand,
Mi
That the blood now had soaked,
La
She collapsed,
Mi
With a flag in her hand.
Si
A flag white as snow.
Do#m
A hero of war!
La
Is that what they see?
Mi
Just medals and scars?
Si
So damn proud of me.
Do#m
And I brought home that flag.
La
Now it gathers dust.
Mi
But it's a flag that I love.
Si
It's the only flag I trust.
Mi Sol#m
He said "Son, have you seen the world?
La
Well, what would you say
Mi
If I said that you could?"
