D
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
War was just a game we played when we were kids 
C
Well I'm laying down my gun 
                   G
I'm hanging up my boots 
                  C
I'm up here with God 
                  D
And we're both watching over you 

Chorus:
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 where it would go. 
C                  D                 G
If you're reading this I'm already home. 

Verse: same as first

If you're reading this 
Half way around the world 
I won't be there to see the birth of our little girl 
I hope she looks like you 
I hope she fights like me 
Stand up for the innocent and the weak 
I'm laying down my gun 
Hanging up my boots 
Tell dad I don't regret that id follow in his shoes 

Chorus:

So lay me down 
In that open field out on the edge of town 
And know my soul is where my momma always prayed where it would go 
If you're reading this, I'm already home 

Verse:
If you're reading this, there is going to come a day 
You move on and find someone else and that?s okay 
Just remember this 
I'm in a better place 
Soldiers live in peace and angels sing amazing grace 

Chorus:
So lay me down 
In that open field out on the edge of town 
And know my soul is where my momma prayed where that it would go 
If you're reading this( line repeats so does the chords) 
If you're reading this 
I'm already home
