The Postman Lucy Spraggan
NO CAPO
[G]They married in June one afternoon in a church down by their home
She [C]wore the ring his mother gave him the day that he left home
They [G]danced before their families and they held each other close
[G]And on that lovely night in June,[D] oh he loved her so [G]
[G]The war took him to Paris one year since they had wed
He packed e[C]nvelopes and cigarettes ink and his fountain pen
He said I[G] will send you letters each week that I am gone
And I [C]promise you'll feel better,[D] when the postman comes [G]
[G]The months had past on slowly and his boots had lost their tread
But s[C]till 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]We will be together, [D]when the postman comes [G]
[G] [C] [G]
[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
And she [C]fell, to the flo[G]or
[G]She questioned him said you've got this wrong
[G]My husbands fast my husbands strong
[G]And I promise you'll know better,[D] when the postman comes[G]
[G]If you've received this letter it means the worst has done
And I'm [C]sorry and I love you and this isn't what I want
[G]But you will find another and I will understand
I just h[C]ope he loves you more than any other can
[G]I sent you all these letters and for reasons there's just one
[C]It is me you will remember.[D]. when the postman comes[G]
