If you're reading this, My momma is sitting there
Abm E
Looks like I only got a one way ticket over here
B F#
I sure wish I could give you one more kiss
Abm E
War was just a game we played when we were kids
C#m
Well I'm laying down my gun
B
I'm hanging up my boots
E
I'm up here with God
F#
And we're both watching over you
E F# Abm
So lay me down
E F# B
In that open field out on the edge of town
E F# Abm
And know my soul
E F#
Is where my momma always prayed that it would go.
E F# B F# E
And if you're reading this I'm already home.
B F# If you're reading this, Half way around the world Abm E I won't be there to see the birth of our little girl B F# I hope she looks like you, I hope she fights like me Abm E And stands up for the innocent and the weak C#m I'm laying down my gun B I'm Hanging up my boots E F# Tell dad I don't regret that I followed in his shoes E F# Abm So lay me down E F# B In that open field out on the edge of town E F# Abm And know my soul E F# Is where my momma always prayed that it would go E F# Abm F# E And if you're reading this, I'm already home B F# If you're reading this, there's gonna come a day Abm E When you'll move on and find someone else and that's okay B F# Just remember this, I'm in a better place Abm E F# Where soldiers live in peace and angels sing amazing grace E F# Abm So lay me down E F# B In that open field out on the edge of town E F# Abm And know my soul E F# Is where my momma always prayed that it would go E And if you're reading this F# If you're reading this B I'm already home
