Lyrics & chords

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

[Verse 1]
When [C]I woke
up this morning
There was a note upon my door
Saying " Don't make me no coffee,
[G]Babe
[C]Cause I won't be back no more"

[Verse 2]
And that's all she [C]wrote
"Dear John",
I [G]sent your saddle home"
[C]

[Verse 3]
Now Jonah got along in
the belly of a whale
Daniel in the lion's den
I know a guy that didn't try to get along
And he won't get a chance again

[Verse 4]
That's all she [C]wrote
"Dear John",
I [G]sent your saddle home"

[Interlude 1]
[C]
[G][C][G][C]

[Verse 5]
[C]She didn't forward no address
No she never said goodbye
All she said was "If you get blue
Just hang your little head and cry"

[Verse 6]
That's all she [C]wrote
"Dear John",
I [G]sent your saddle home"
[C]

[Verse 7]
Now my gal's short and stubby
She's mean as she can be
If that little old gal of mine
Ever gets a hold of me

[Verse 8]
That's all she [C]wrote
"Dear John",
I [G]fetched your saddle home"

[Interlude 2]
[C]
[G][C]

[Verse 9]
[C]Went down to the bank this [G]morning
[C]The cashier said with a grin
I'm sorry for you Little John
But your wife has done been in

[Verse 10]
That's all she [C]wrote
"Dear John",
I [G]sent your saddle home"
[C]

[Verse 11]
That's all she wrote
"Dear John", I [G]sent your saddle home"
[C]
