Verse 2 (The Ds you play on the A 
string should be palm muted except 
for the ones with
vibrato. Try to figure out some of 
the

pinch harmonics he plays.)

Prechorus
Same chords but different text:

They marched you in a uniform
You wore against your will.
With lies of hope and glory,
They taught you how to kill.





Chorus



Bridge (without guitar, guitar 
starts in with the F powerchord. The
 F,G and the first
bar of A are palm muted, the last 
one

not.)

          Bb
After the war,

      Bb                Dm     Dm
You thought you'd be a hero.

Bb       Bb          Dm       Dm
After all that you survived.

Bb      Bb            Dm        Dm
If hell was meant for heroes,



Then you'd              surely      
     have arrived.

Use whammy bar on the last note! and
 don't play it on the high e string.
 He plays that d
but as a pinch harmonic. You could 
try to get it on the D string 
between the eight and ninth
or between the second and third fret
 or on the G string right above the 
third fret.

If you can do fast picking on those 
last notes.


Hold the last bend, then play a bit 
with pinch harmonics on the fifth 
fret on the
D string and then on the G string 
(and use whammy bar of course).

Then it goes back to the chorus 
(which is slightly changed):
