Tim McGraw – If You’re Reading This (Album: Let It Go (2007))
!!! Capo: 4th fret !!! (Key: B)
[Intro] – G G C D
G D Em C
If youre reading this my momma’s sittin there.
Looks like I only got a one way ticket over here.
Sure wish I could give you one more kiss.
War was just a game we played when we were kids.
Am G C D
So I’m laying down my gun, & hangin up my boots.
I’m up here with God & were both watching over you.
C D Em Em / C C D D
So lay me down, in that open field out on the edge of town.
& know my soul, is where my momma always prayed that it would go.
C D G
If you’re reading this, I’m already home.
[Instrumental] – G G C D
G D Em C
If you’re reading this, halfway round the world,
I wont be there to see the birth of our little girl.
I hope she looks like you, I hope she fights like me.
And stands up for the innocent and the weak.
Am G C D
So I’m laying down my gun, and hangin up my boots.
Tell dad I don’t regret that I followed in his shoes.
[Chorus]
[Bridge] – G G C D
G D Em C
If you’re reading this there’s gonna come a day,
when you’ll move on and find someone else, and that’s okay.
Just remember this, I’m in a better place,
where soldiers live in peace and angels sing “amazing grace” [D]
[Chorus]
C D D G
If you’re reading this, if you’re reading this… I’m already home.
[Outro] – G Em G
