F#m E D G F#m And when I get there I'ma send you a postcard I've always been right there E We've never been so far D I wish that I could promise you it wouldn't be so hard D G But I'ma send you a postcard F#m When he got drafted he was 17 E They gave him a gun but he don't even know what heaven means D And he promised to his mom to live forever like an evergreen G He faked a smile, told a lie, he's terrified but she would never see F#m She said that he'd be fine E When he was leaving she could hardly look him in the eyes D He said believe me mama I know I'm too young to die D G I'm sure that I'll be fine F#m Then he had to pack his things he's out the door E Had to tell his mom goodbye he's off to war D He didn't even know what he was fighting for D G He didn't even know what he was fighting for F#m They told him pick your head up boy and suck it up E He only had one life but they fucked it up D And you can try and kick and scream it's not enough D G Your momma's little soldier boy, just toughen up F#m And when I get there I'ma send you a postcard I've always been right there E We've never been so far D I wish that I could promise you it wouldn't be so hard D G But I'ma send you a postcard F#m And when I get there I'ma send you a postcard I've always been right there E We've never been so far D I wish that I could promise you it wouldn't be so hard D G But I'ma send you a postcard F#m There's no point in asking for help E He did anything and everything for everyone else D He thought that one day he’d get home and have a story to tell G He’d never k**l another soldier they reminded him too much of himself F#m They thought his thinking was ahead of his time E And one day he was caught behind enemy line D They put a gun up to his head he wasn’t ready to die D But he was fine G Instead, he looked 'em dead in the eyes and said F#m And when I get there I'ma send you a postcard I've always been right there E We've never been so far D I wish that I could promise you it wouldn't be so hard D G But I'ma send you a postcard F#m And when I get there I'ma send you a postcard I've always been right there E We've never been so far D I wish that I could promise you it wouldn't be so hard D G But I'ma send you a postcard F#m And when I get there I'ma send you a postcard I've always been right there E We've never been so far D I wish that I could promise you it wouldn't be so hard D G But I'ma send you a postcard
