[Chorus]
         Em                     G       D
Some say freedom is free, but I tend to disagree
       Em        G                D
I say freedom is won, through the barrel of a gun
[Verse]
      Em         G        D
Had a brother in Iraq, he didn't come back
      Em     G       D
I ask why oh why, do soldiers gotta die
[Chorus]
         Em                     G       D
Some say freedom is free, but I tend to disagree
      Em         G                D
I say freedom is won, through the blood of someone's son
         Em                     G       D
Some say freedom is free, but I tend to disagree
      Em         G                D
I say freedom is won, through the barrel of a gun
[Verse]
      Em      G               D
Daddy died in Vietnam, he was killed at Khe Sanh
      Em     G       D
I ask why oh why, do soldiers gotta die
[Chorus]
         Em                     G       D
Some say freedom is free, but I tend to disagree
      Em         G               D
I say freedom is won through the blood of someone's son
