NOTES:
This tab is designed for one guitar; it is exactly what Tim McIlrath plays when the band 
the song live. It's also what he's seen playing in the music video. So rest assured, 
tab will have you playing the song just like you've seen it and heard it!

Keep in mind, the first half of the recorded bridge (the palm-muted part) uses the same 
as the rest of the song, while the live version uses modified chords. I tabbed the 
'cause it's more interesting.

I personally like to move the intro riff down the neck onto the first fret, but I'll tab 
how McIlrath plays it for those who want to be exact.


TUNING:

Half-step down (Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb)


STRUMMING:

D (xx0232@1)D (xx0232@1)DU DU DDU (xx0232@1)1 + 2 + 3 + 4 +


CHORDS USED: (Named by finger position, not by notes. The Roman numeral VI after the A# 
it's on the sixth fret, just so no one thinks I made it up.)

Replace the last strum of the chorus with the note in parentheses below. Palm-mute the

    Fsus (113311@1)                     Am7She (x02010@1)walked through bullets and haze.
               A#VI
I asked her to stop;
                F5I (133xxx@1)begged her to stay.
                A#VI
But she pressed on,
               F5So (133xxx@1)I lifted my gun,
             CAnd (x32010@1)I fired away...

        F (133211@1)                       AmAnd (x02210@1)the shells jumped through the smoke
             A#And (x1333x@1)into the sand
                       FThat (133211@1)the blood had now soaked.
       A# (x1333x@1)                      FShe (133211@1)collapsed with a flag in her hand;
                CA (x32010@1)flag white as snow...

          DmA (xx0231@1)hero of war,
                  A#Is (x1333x@1)that what they see?
                FJust (133211@1)medals and scars;
                 CSo (x32010@1)damn proud of me.
                        DmAnd (xx0231@1)I brought home that flag.
               A#Now (x1333x@1)it gathers dust.
                         FBut (133211@1)it's the flag that I love;
                     CIt's (x32010@1)the only flag I trust.

          FHe (133211@1)said, "Son,
                  AmHave (x02210@1)you seen the world?
                     A#Well, (x1333x@1)what would you say
                   FIf (133211@1)I said that you could?


NOTE:
Fear not if you have a hard time picking out the individual notes in the outro; McIlrath 
pulls a "the hell with it" it and strums them like in the verse.
