    	    	Вступление

[Intro]
Cadd9

[Verse 1]
Cadd9
He's a hero of the war

All the neighborhood is talkin' 'bout your son
                    Bb
Mrs. Reiley get his medals

Hand them 'round to everyone
         Am
Show his gun to all the children in the street
         Cadd9
It's too bad he can't shake hands or move his feet

[Verse 2]
Cadd9
He's a hero of the war

You can see his picture in the local news
                       Bb
Mrs. Reiley seems the girl next door is nowhere to be found
         Am
Once you couldn't keep that boy from hangin' 'round
      Cadd9
Never mind dear, you're with your mum once more

[Verse 3]
Cadd9
He's a hero of the war

Like his dad he gave his life the war before
                      Bb
It was tragic how you almost died of pain when he was born
        Am
With no husband there beside you through it all
         Cadd9
Ring the bell if you get hungry or you fall

[Verse 4]
Cadd9
You're a hero of the war

Why those teardrops on your cheek? it's so absurd
                       Bb
Feelin' empty it's the emptiness of heroes like your son
         Am
And what made him leave his mother for a gun
       Cadd9
Driven forward driven back and nothing more

He's a hero of the war
