[Verse]

    Em7
Oh, send me off to war
       D
With a gun in my hand
Am7
But I won't pull the trigger
    Em7
Our destiny is here
           D
'Neath the red, white and blue
Am7
So lead me to the slaughter


[Pre-Chorus]

     Fmaj7
Now don't be afraid come and join the parade
        Em7      
For the ultimate in sacrifice
        Fmaj7
It's an old-fashioned story of hope and of glory
  Am7                  Bm
A ticket for taking a life


[Chorus]

Em7 D    Em7              D     Em7
I,      I don't want to be a hero
Em7              D       Em7  D
I don't want to die for you
Em7              D       Em7  Bm D Bm D
I don't want to be a hero


[Verse]

   Em7
Oh send me off to war
     D
In a far away land
Am7
I never knew existed
    Em7  
Subject me to the truth
       D
To the horror and pain
Am7
Until my mind is twisted


[Pre-Chorus]

    Fmaj7
And what if I fail will you put me in jail
      Em7
For a murder I will not commit?
         Fmaj7
'Cos you don't understand till there's blood on your hands
           Am7                  Bm
That it's time to forget and forgive


[Chorus]

Em7 D    Em7              D     Em7
I,      I don't want to be a hero
Em7              D       Em7  D
I don't want to die for you
Em7              D       Em7  
I don't want to be a hero

[Pre-Chorus]

    Fmaj7
And those who return come back only to learn
      Em7
That they're hated by those who they love
            Fmaj7
'Cos you're not satisfied till a thousand have died
         Am7                   Bm
And your anger is paid for in blood


[Chorus]

Em7 D    Em7              D     Em7
I,      I don't want to be a hero
Em7              D       Em7  D
I don't want to die for you
Em7              D       Em7  
I don't want to be a hero
