If You're Reading This Tim McGraw
If youre [G]reading this my [Dsus2/F#]momma's sittin there. Looks [Em]like I only got a one
way ti[C]cket over here. Su[G]re wish I could give you o[Dsus2/F#]ne more kiss. [Em]War was
just a game we played when w[C]e were kids. So I'm [Am7]laying down my gun, and
[G/B]hangin up my boots. [Cmaj7/G]I'm up here with God and were both [Dsus2]watching over you.
So [C]lay [Dsus2/F#]me [Em]down,[Dsus2] [C]in that open field out on the e[Dsus2]dge of
town. And [C]know [Dsus2/F#]my [Em]soul,[Dsus2] is [C]where my momma always prayed that
[Dsus2]it would go. If you're [C]reading this, [Dsus2]I'm already [G11]home. [Cmaj7] [Dsus2]
If you're [G]reading this, halfway [Dsus2/F#]round the world, I [Em]won't be there
to see the birth of our [C]little girl. I hope she [G]looks like you, I hope she
[Dsus2/F#]fights like me. And [Em]stands up for the innocent [C]and the weak.
So I'm [Am7]laying down my gun, and [G/B]hangin up my boots. Tell [Cmaj7/G]dad I
don?t regret that I [Dsus2]followed in his shoes.
So [C]lay[Dsus2/F#] me [Em]down,[Dsus2] [C]in that open field out on the [Dsus2]edge of
town. And [C]know [Dsus2/F#]my [Em]soul,[Dsus2] is [C]where my momma always prayed that
[Dsus2]it would go. If you're [C]reading this, [Dsus2]I'm already home. [Em] [Dsus2]
Bridge: G11 Cmaj7 Dsus2
If you're [G]reading this there's gonna [Dsus2/F#]come a day, when [Em]you'll move
on and find someone else, and t[C]hat's okay. Just [G]remember this, I'm in a
[Dsus2/F#]better place, where [Em]soldiers live in peace and
angels [C]sing "amazing [Dsus2]grace"
So [C]lay [Dsus2/F#]me [Em]down,[Dsus2] [C]in that open field out on the [Dsus2]edge of
town. And [C]know [Dsus2/F#]my [Em]soul,[Dsus2] is [C]where my momma always prayed
that [Dsus2]it would go. If you're [C]reading this, if you're [Dsus2]reading this?
G11 Cmaj7 Dsus2 G~
I'm already home.
Note: There is a little bit of picking on the Dsus2 prior to the chorus and
within the chorus that you can feel out. It is basically done on the high E
string by hammering on the F# note to make the chord a solid D and then pulling
off back to a Dsus2. There is also a little extra picking in the
intro/bridge/outtro riff that is too hard for me to try to describe here. It is
mainly on the 4th string of the G11.
