Hero Of War - Rise Against, ukulele chords

Intro: Bb C

F
He said, Son,
                  Am
Have you seen the world?
                     Bb
Well, what would you say
                   F
If I said that you could?
                Bb
Just carry this gun,
                F
Youʼll even get paid.
                           C
I said «That sounds pretty good».
 
              F
Black leather boots,
                Am
Spit-shined, so bright.
                Bb
They cut off my hair,
               F
But it looks alright.
                  Bb
We marched and we sang.
              F
We all became friends,
                     C
As we learned how to fight.

Chorus:
              Dm
    A hero of war!
                           Bb
    Yeah, thatʼs what Iʼll be.
                    F
    And when I come home,
                             C
    Theyʼll be damn proud of me.
                    Dm
    Iʼll carry this flag;
                        Bb
    To the  grave, if I must.
                              F
    ʼCause itʼs a flag that I love
                       C
    And itʼs flag that I trust.

                F
I kicked in the door,
            Am
I yelled my commands.
                   Bb
The children, they cried,
             F
But I got my man.
            Bb
We took him away,
               F
A bag over his face,
                        C
From his family and his friends.
 
                  F
They took off his clothes,
                   Am
They pissed in his hands.
               Bb
I told them to stop,
                   F
But then, I joined in.
                 Bb
We beat him with guns
                     F
And batons, not just once,
               C
But again and again.

Chorus:
              Dm
    A hero of war!
                           Bb
    Yeah, thatʼs what Iʼll be.
                    F
    And when I come home,
                             C
    Theyʼll be damn proud of me.
                    Dm
    Iʼll carry this flag;
                        Bb
    To the  grave, if I must.
                              F
    ʼCause itʼs a flag that I love
                    C
    And I flag that I trust.

    F
She walked
                    Am
Through bullets and haze.
               Bb
I asked her to stop;
                F
I begged her to stay.
                Bb
But she pressed on,
               F
So I lifted my gun
            C
And I fired away...
 
        F
And the shells
                   Am
Jumped through the smoke.
             Bb
And into the sand,
                       F
That the blood now had soaked,
        Bb
She collapsed,
                   F
With a flag in her hand.
                C
A flag white as snow.

Chorus:
              Dm
    A hero of war!
                      Bb
    Is that what they see?
                   F
    Just medals and scars?
                     C
    So damn proud of me.
                            Dm
    And I brought home that flag.
                   Bb
    Now it gathers dust.
                           F
    But itʼs a flag that I love.
                         C
    Itʼs the only flag I trust.

Outro:
             F                      Am
    He said «Son, have you seen the world?
                         Bb
    Well, what would you say
                       F
    If I said that you could?»
