B F#
When you take me up to Rose Hill
B F#
When you lay my body low
B F#
Wrap me in a flag, throw some flowers on the ground,
B F#
Say a few words then let me go
B F#
There's no need to defend my honor
B F#
Or justify the life I gave
B F#
There's no need for the pictures of my happy childhood there, please
B F#
Don�t pour salt upon my grave
G#m E
I knew long ago that I would be the one
G#m F#
To brandish my sword should they beat those battle drums
B E F#
I stood my ground, I stood for something
B E F#
Worth falling for Yeah Yeah
B F#
Ask my father to forgive me
B F#
I know he didn't understand
B F#
He worked too hard for way too many years
B F#
To lose his boy in a foreign sand
B F#
No doubt, he is angry
B F#
No doubt where he'll put the blame
B
But don't let him fall apart, Mama,
F#
Don't let him go back to the pills
B F#
Only pride will ease his pain
G#m E
I died a patriot, a soldier just like him
G#m F#
Fought like he taught me to, until the very end
B E F#
I stood my ground, I stood for something
B E F#
Worth falling for Yeah Yeah Worth falling for...
G#m
I hope this war's worth dying for
E
I hope this war's worth dying for
G#m F#
I hope this war's worth dying for
B F#
Take my stripes and take my medals
B F#
Take my flag and dog tags too
B F#
Put 'em in a package, stain it with your tears,
B F#
Send it up to Pennsylvania Avenue
B F#
My last regards to the man in charge
B F#
Let him know I served my country well
B F#
He was right behind me all the way to Kandahar
B F#
The night my broken body fell
G#m E
Don�t let a day go by without a peaceful prayer
G#m F#
For my brothers and my sisters still fighting over there
B E F#
They stand their ground, They stand for something
B E F#
Worth falling for Yeah Yeah
B E F#
They stood their ground, They stood for something
B E F# B E F#
Worth falling for Worth dying for
I hope this war's worth dying for
(yeah yeah)
I hope this war's worth dying for
(yeah yeah)
I hope this war's worth dying for
(yeah yeah)
