Dear John, oh how [G] I hate to write, Dear [Dm] John, [G]
I must let you [C] know tonight,
That my love for you has died, Oh well [F] I cried so long,
[G] And tonight I wait another, [C] Dear John, Dear John,
I was [G] overseas in battle, When the mail caught up with me,
And they handed me a letter, Oh I was happy as [C] could be,
For the fighting was all over, And the battle had [F] been won,
Then I opened up the [G] letter, [G] And it started, Dear [C] John,
Dear John, oh how [G] I hate to write, Dear John, I must let you know [C]
tonight,
That my love for you has died, Oh well [F] I cried so long,
[C] And [G] tonight I wait another, [C] Dear John, Dear John,
Will you please [Em] send back my picture, My husband wants it now,
And when I tell you who I'm marrying,
[G] [C] Why you won't care dear anyhow,
Now the ceremony has started, [F] And I'll wed your brother Don,
[G] Will you wish us happiness forever, Dear [C] John,
[G] And tonight I wait another, [B] Dear John,
[Em] [Dm] [C]
