[G]If youre reading thi[D]s my momma's sittin there[Em]. Looks like I only got a one
way ti[C]cket over here.  Su[G]re wish I could give you o[D]ne more kiss. W[Em]ar was
just a game we played when w[C]e were kids. So I[G]'m laying down my gun, and
[C]hangin up my boots. [Em]Im up here with God and were both wa[D]tching over you.

the weak. So I[G]'m laying down my gun, and [C]hangin up my boots. Tell [Em]dad I
don’t regret that I fo[D]llowed in his shoes.
