[Intro 1]
[G][C][D]

[Verse 1]
If you're [G]reading this
My [D]momma's sittin there
Looks [Em]like I only got a one way [C]ticket over here
I [G]sure wish I could give you [D]one more kiss
And [Em]war was just a game
we played when [C]we were kids

[Pre-chorus 1]
Well, [Am]I'm laying down my gun
[G]I'm hanging up boots
[C]I'm up here with God
and we're both [D]watching over you

[Chorus 1]
So [C]lay [D]me [Em]down
[C]In that open field out on the [D]edge of town
And [C]know [D]my [Em]soul
Is [C]where my momma always prayed
That [D]it would go
And if you're [C]reading this
[D]I'm already [G]home[C][D]

[Verse 2]
If you're [G]reading this
Half way a[D]round the world
I [Em]won't be there to see the birth of [C]our little girl
I hope she [G]looks like you
I hope she [D]fights like me
And [Em]stands up for the innocent [C]and the weak

[Pre-chorus 2]
[Am]I'm laying down my gun
[G]I'm hanging up my boots
Tell [C]dad I don't regret that
I [D]followed in his shoes

[Chorus 2]
So [C]lay [D]me [Em]down
[C]In that open field out on the [D]edge of town
And [C]know [D]my [Em]soul
Is [C]where my momma always prayed
That [D]it would go
If you're [C]reading this
[D]I'm already [Em]home
[D][G][D]

[Verse 3]
If you're [G]reading this
There's going [D]to come a day
When [Em]you'll move on
And find some one else
And [C]that's OK
Just re[G]member this
I'm in a [D]better place
Where [Em]soldiers live in peace
And angels [C]sing Amazing [D]Grace

[Chorus 3]
So [C]lay [D]me [Em]down
[C]In that open field out on the [D]edge of town
And [C]know [D]my [Em]soul
Is [C]where my momma always prayed
That [D]it would go
If you're [C]reading this
If you're [D]reading this I'm already home

[Outro 1]
[G][Em][C][G]
