NO CAPO
[Verse 1]
GThey married in June one afternoon in a church down by their home 
She Cwore the ring his mother gave him the day that he left home 
They Gdanced before their families and they held each other close
GAnd on that lovely night in June, Doh he loved her so G  
[Verse 2]
GThe war took him to Paris one year since they had wed 
He packed eCnvelopes and cigarettes ink and his fountain pen 
He said I Gwill send you letters each week that I am gone 
And I Cpromise you'll feel better, Dwhen the postman comes G  
[Verse 3]
GThe months had past on slowly and his boots had lost their tread 
But sCtill he wrote his letters this week this one had said 
GYou are always with me even when I feel alone 
CAnd this rifle bears a burden and its heavy on my soul 
GBut you wont have to miss me as once this war is won 
CWe will be together, Dwhen the postman comes G  
G C G
[Verse 4]
GShe opens the door to a man with a telegram 
GA sad look on his face 
GShe wipes away a single tear and she hears him say 
GSomething about the military apologies in the ministry 
And she Cfell, to the floGor 
GShe questioned him said you've got this wrong 
GMy husbands fast my husbands strong 
GAnd I promise you'll know better, Dwhen the postman comes G

NO CAPO

[Verse 1]

They married in June one afternoon in a church down by their home

She wore the ring his mother gave him the day that he left home

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

[Verse 2]

The war took him to Paris one year since they had wed

He packed envelopes and cigarettes ink and his fountain pen

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

[Verse 3]

The months had past on slowly and his boots had lost their tread

But still he wrote his letters this week this one had said

You are always with me even when I feel alone

And this rifle bears a burden and its heavy on my soul

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 C G

[Verse 4]

She opens the door to a man with a telegram

A sad look on his face

She wipes away a single tear and she hears him say

Something about the military apologies in the ministry

C G

And she fell, to the floor

She questioned him said you've got this wrong

My husbands fast my husbands strong

G D G

And I promise you'll know better, when the postman comes

[Verse 5]

If you've received this letter it means the worst has done

And I'm sorry and I love you and this isn't what I want

But you will find another and I will understand

I just hope he loves you more than any other can

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
