 BWhen you take me up to F#Rose Hill
 BWhen you lay my body F#low
 BWrap me in a flag, throw some F#flowers on the ground,
 BSay a few words then let me F#go
BThere's no need to defend my F#honor
 BOr justify the life I F#gave 
 BThere's no need for the pictures of my F#happy childhood there, please
 BDon’t pour salt upon my F#grave
 G#mI knew long ago that EI would be the one
 G#mTo brandish my sword should they F#beat those battle drums
 BI stood my Eground, I stood for F#something
 Worth falling Bfor     EYeah F#Yeah
 BAsk my father to F#forgive me
 BI know he didn't underF#stand
 BHe worked too hard for F#way too many years
 BTo lose his boy in a foreign F#sand
 BNo doubt, he is F#angry
 BNo doubt where he'll put the F#blame
 But don't Blet him fall apart, Mama,
 Don't let him F#go back to the pills
 BOnly pride will ease his F#pain
 G#mI died a patriot, a Esoldier just like him
 G#mFought like he taught me to, unF#til the very end
 BI stood my Eground, I stood for F#something
 Worth falling Bfor     EYeah F#Yeah  Worth falling for...
 G#mI hope this war's worth dying for
 EI hope this war's worth dying for
 G#mI hope this war's worth dying F#for

 BTake my flag and dog tags F#too
 BPut 'em in a package, F#stain it with your tears,
 BSend it up to Pennsylvania AveF#nue
 BMy last regards to the man in F#charge
 BLet him know I served my country F#well
 BHe was right behind me all the F#way to Kandahar
 BThe night my broken body F#fell
