A Dear John Letter Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][Dm][G][C]

[Verse 1]
[C]Dear John,
oh how I [G]hate to write,
Dear John,
I must let you know to[C]night,
That my love for you has died
Away like [F]grass upon the lawn
An[C]d ton[G]ight I'll wed another dear J[C]ohn
I was over in Korea
[G]When the mail caught up with me
And they handed me a letter,
why I was happy as [C]could be,
for the fighting was all [G]over,[C]
and the [F]peace had just been won.
[C]Then [G]I opened up t[Dm]he letter,[G]
and it star[C]ted, Dear John.
Dear John, oh how I [G]hate to write.
Dear John,
I must let you know to[C]night
that my love for you has died
away like [F]grass upon a lawn
and to[G]night I'll wet another dear [C]John
Will you please send back my [G]picture?
For he will want it now,
when I tell you who I'm marrying,
why you won't [C]care dear anyhow.
Now the ceremony has started,
[G]and I'll wed [F]your brother, Don.
Will [C]you [G]wish us happiness forever, dear John?
[C]
