Lucy Spraggan - The Postman Chords

NO CAPO

G
They married in June one afternoon in a church down by their home 
    C
She wore the ring his mother gave him the day that he left home 
     G
They danced before their families and they held each other close
G                                D                     G
And on that lovely night in June, oh he loved her so 


G
The war took him to Paris one year since they had wed 
           C   
He packed envelopes and cigarettes ink and his fountain pen 
         G
He said I will send you letters each week that I am gone 
      C                          D                       G
And I promise you'll feel better, when the postman comes 


G
The months had past on slowly and his boots had lost their tread 
     C
But still he wrote his letters this week this one had said 
G
You are always with me even when I feel alone 
C
And this rifle bears a burden and its heavy on my soul 
G
But you wont have to miss me as once this war is won 
C                    D                      G
We will be together, when the postman comes

G
She opens the door to a man with a telegram 
G
A sad look on his face 
G
She wipes away a single tear and she hears him say 
G
Something about the military apologies in the ministry 
        C               G
And she fell, to the floor 
G
She questioned him said you've got this wrong 
G
My husbands fast my husbands strong 
G                                D                      G
And I promise you'll know better, when the postman comes 


G
If you've received this letter it means the worst has done
        C 
And I'm sorry and I love you and this isn't what I want 
G
But you will find another and I will understand  
        C
I just hope he loves you more than any other can 
G
I sent you all these letters and for reasons there's just one 
C                          D                       G
It is me you will remember.. when the postman comes
