Hero Of The War
(Engel)

	
	
	Intro: C(add9)
	
	
	He's a hero of the war
	
	
	All the neighbourhood is talking 'bout your son
	
	                   Bbmaj9
	Mrs Riley, get his medals handed round to everyone
	
	         Fmaj7
	Show his gun to all the children in the street
	
	         Gmaj7
	It's too bad he can't shake hands and move his feet

	       C(add9)
	He's a hero of the war
	
	
	You can see his picture in the local news
	
	                     Bbmaj9
	Mrs Riley, seems the girl next door is nowhere to be found
	
	         Fmaj7
	Once you couldn't keep that whore from hanging round
	
	      Gmaj7
	Never mind dear you're with your mum once more

	       C(add9)
	He's a hero of the war
	
	
	Like his dad he gave his life for war before
	
	                      Bbmaj9
	It was tragic how you almost died of pain when he was born
	
	        Fmaj7
	with no husband there beside you through it all
	
	         Gmaj7
	Ring the bell if you get hungry or you fall
	
	
	
	
	
	         C(add9)
	You're a hero of the war
	
	
	Why those teardrops on your cheek? It's so absurd
	
	                        Bbmaj9
	Feeling empty, it's the emptiness of heroes like your son
	
	         Fmaj7
	and what made him leave his mother for a gun
	
	       Gmaj7
	Driven forward, driven back and nothing more
	
	       C(add9)
	He's a hero of the war
