The Postman Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[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
And on that [C]lovely night [D]in June
Oh he loved her [G]so

[Verse 2]
The [G]war took him to Paris
One year since they had wed
He packed [C]envelopes and cigarettes
Ink and his fountain pen
He said, [G]"I will send you letters
Each week that I am gone
And I [C]promise you'll feel [D]better
When the postman [G]comes"

[Verse 3]
The [G]war had passed 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
And this [C]rifle bears a burden and
It's heavy on my soul
But [G]you won't have to miss me
As once this war is won
[C]We will be [D]together when the
postman [G]comes"
[C]

[Verse 4]
[Csus2]She opens the[G] door to
a man with a telegram
[C]A sad loo[G]k on his face
She wipes away a single tear
[C]As she [G]hears him say
Something about the military,
apologies
And the ministry and [C]she fell,
[Csus2]to the fl[D]oor[G][D]
She ques[G]tioned him, said you've
Got this wrong
My husband's fast,
my husband's strong
And I [C]promise you'll know
[Csus2]better[D]
When the postman [G]comes

[Verse 5]
[G]
If you've received this letter
It means the worst is done
[C]I'm sorry and I love you
This isn't what I want
But [G]you will find another
And I will understand
[C]I just hope he loves you
More than any other can
I [G]sent you all these letters and
For reasons there's just one
It is [C]me you will [D]remember
When the [G]postman comes
When the postman comes
[G]
