Capo 2nd Fret (to match original recording)

Intro: (A9) (D9) (E5) 

If you're (A9) reading this
My (E/G#) Momma's sitting there
Looks (F#m7) like I only got a one way (D9) ticket over here
(A9) Sure wish I
Could give you (E/G#) one more kiss
And (F#m7) war was just a game we played when (D9) we were kids
I'm (Bm7) laying down my gun
I'm (A/C#) hanging up my boots
I'm (D9) up here with God and we're both (E9) watching over you

  So (D) lay (E) me (F#m) down
  (D9) In that open field out on the (E9) edge of town
  And (D) know (E) my (F#m) soul
  Is (D9) where my Momma always prayed
  That (E9) it would go
  And if you're (D9) reading this
  (E5) I'm already (A9) home

(D9) (E5) 

If you're reading this
Half way around the world
I won't be there
To see the birth of our little girl
I hope she looks like you
I hope she fights like me
Stands up for the innocent and the weak
I'm laying down my gun
I'm hanging up my boots
Tell dad I don't regret that I followed in his shoes

  So (D) lay (E) me (F#m) down
  (D9) In that open field out on the (E9) edge of town
  And (D) know (E) my (F#m) soul
  Is (D9) where my Momma always prayed
  That (E9) it would go
  And if you're (D9) reading this
  (E9) I'm already (F#m7) home

(E/G#) (A) (Esus) (E)

If you're (A9) reading this
There's going to (E/G#) come a day
When (F#m7) you'll move on
And find some one else
And (D9) that's OK
Just re(A9)member this
I'm in a (E/G#) better place
Where (F#m7) soldiers live in peace
And angels (D9) sing amazing gr(E9)ace

(Repeat Chorus)

  If you're (E9) reading this
  I'm already (A9) home (F#m7) (D) (A9)
