[Intro 1]
[D][Esus4][D]
[Esus4][A][D]

[Verse 1]
[D]Hey there, Mr. Postman,
do you have something for me?
I've been waitin' way too long
on a let[Esus4]ter from [D]Marie
Her eyes are filled with passion,
my heart's full of desire
Just like the first time we made love,
beneath [Esus4]the stars in [D]the sky

[Verse 2]
And I'm [G]fightin' for our freedom,
[A]for the promise [D]land
If I [G]get back, from Vietnam,
I'll put a [A]ring in her [D]hand[Asus4]

[Interlude 1]
[D][Asus4][D]

[Verse 3]
[D]And I opened up the letter,
and I found a photograph
I pressed it to my lips hopin'
[Esus4]this won't be my l[D]ast
Her words are so neatly,
strung out along the page
And then they start to smear as
[Esus4]the tears roll down [D]her face

[Verse 4]
And I [G]wish I [D]could [G]explain,
but she [A]just won't under[D]stand
If I [G]get back, from Vietnam,
I'll put a [A]ring in her [D]hand[Asus4]

[Interlude 2]
[D]
[Em][D]

[Verse 5]
Now [A]the sky has turned to orange,
man their [G]comin' on real fast
You [A]better grab your gun,
we got [G]Charlie on our ass
Now I [A]hear the depths of hell,
at the [G]bows of the scene
Re[A]member me, [G]Marie

[Interlude 3]
[G][Asus4][D]
[A][D]

[Verse 6]
If you're [D]readin' this letter,
I'm sorry that I lied
You will always have my heart,
but you [Esus4]will nev er [D]be my bride
And if it was the same,
I would do it all again
Because the day I said I loved you,
that's [Esus4]exactly w[A]hat I m[D]eant

[Verse 7]
[G]Now you have a flag,
for [A]which my life [D]stands
I'm [G]sorry that,
I never put a [A]ring in your [D]hand
I'm [G]sorry that,
I never put a [A]ring in your [D]hand[A][Asus4]

[Outro 1]
