If You're Reading This

D                   A
If you're reading this and my mama's sitting there
      Bm                        G
Looks like I only got a one-way ticket over here
D                          A
Sure wish I could give you one more kiss
Bm                                 G
War was just a game we played when we were kids
          Em7                    Bm7
Well I'm laying down my gun I'm hanging up my boots
G                                   A
I'm up here with God and we're both watching over you…

    G   A  Bm   G                             A
So lay me down in that open field out on the edge of town
    G    A  Bm      G                                A
And know my soul is where my mama always prayed that it would go
          G

If you're reading this half way round the world
  Bm                                    G
I won't be there to see the birth of our little girl
           D                                A
I hope she looks like you I hope she fights like me
    Bm                         G
And stands up for the innocent and the weak
    Em7                Bm7
I'm laying down my gun I'm hanging up my boots
     G                         A
Tell dad I don't regret that I followed in his shoes…

If you're reading this there's gonna come a day
     Bm                                       G
When you'll move on and find someone else and that's okay
       D                    A
Just remember this I'm in a better place
      Bm                                G            A
Where soldiers live in peace and angels sing amazing grace…
