[G] Hello, I'm Lucy Spraggan and you're watching Aunt Sofa and this song is called The Postman.
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.
And on that lovely night in June, [D] oh he [G] loved her so.
The war took him to [Am] Paris [G] one year since they had wed.
He packed [C] envelopes and cigarettes, ink and his [G] fountain pen.
And said, I will send you letters each week that I am gone.
And then I promise you'll feel better when the postman comes.
The months had passed [Am] on slowly [G] and his boots had lost their tread.
But still he wrote his letters, this week this one has said.
You are always with me, even when I feel alone.
And this rifle bears your burden and it's heavy on my soul.
But you won't have to miss me, as once this war is won.
We will be together [D] when the [G] postman comes.
She opens the door to a man with a telegram and a sad look on his face.
She wipes away a single tear as she [D] hears him say.
[G] Something about the military, apologies and the ministry.
And she [D] fell to the [G] floor.
She questioned him, said you got this wrong.
My husband's fast, my husband's strong.
[D] And I promise you'll know better [G] when the postman comes.
If you receive this letter, it means [Bm] the worst is done.
[C] I'm sorry and I love you, this isn't what I want.
[G] But you will find another and I will understand.
[C]
I just hope he loves you more [B] than [G] any other can.
I sent you all these letters, as for reasons there's just one.
[C] It is me you will remember,
[Bm] when [G] the postman comes.
When the postman comes.
Thanks very much for watching.
