Hero Of Warv8

It's a more easy way to play that great song from Rise Against.

I recommed it for those who haven't mastered their barre chords :D

Hero of War

Rise Against

Appeal to Reason

Tuning: Standard Capo 4

Intro

Verse 1

He said, "Son,

Have you see the world?

Well, what would you say

If I said that you could?

Just carry this gun.

and you’ll even get paid."

I said, "That sounds pretty good."

Verse 2

Black leather boots

Spit-shined so bright

They cut off my hair

but it looked alright

We marched and we sang

We all became friends

As we learned how to fight

Chorus

A hero of war

Yeah that’s what I’ll be

And when I come home

They’ll be damn proud of me

I’ll carry this flag

To the grave if I must

Because it’s the flag that I love

And a flag that I trust

Verse 3

I kicked in the door

I yelled my commands

The children, they cried

But I got my man

We took him away

A bag over his face

From his family and his friends

Verse 4

They took off his clothes

They pissed in his hands

I told them to stop

But then I joined in

We beat him with guns

And batons not just once

But again and again

Chorus

A hero of war

Yeah that’s what I’ll be

And when I come home

They’ll be damn proud of me

I’ll carry this flag

To the grave if I must

Because it’s the flag that I love

And a flag that I trust

Fill

Verse 5

She walked

through bullets and haze

I asked her to stop

I begged her to stay

But she pressed on

So I lifted my gun

And I fired away

Verse 6

The shells

jumped through the smoke

And into the sand

That the blood now had soaked

She collapsed

with a flag in her hand

A flag white as snow

Chorus

A hero of war

Is that what they see

Just medals and scars

So damn proud of me

And I brought home that flag

Now it gathers dust

But it’s a flag that I love

It’s the only flag I trust

Outro

He said, "Son, have you seen the world?

Well what would you say, if I said that you could?"
