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

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…

So lay me down in that open field out on the edge of town   
    G    A  Bm      G                                A

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

And stands up for the innocent and the weak  
    Em7                Bm7

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
