G-D-E G D If you're reading this, My momma is sitting there Em C Looks like I only got a one way ticket over here G D I sure wish I could give you one more kiss Em C D War was just a game we played when we were kids C Well I'm laying down my gun D I'm hanging up my boots C I'm up here with God D And we're both watching over you C D Em So lay me down C D In that open field out on the edge of town C D Em And know my soul C D Is where my momma always prayed that it would go.
