[Db]
Dear John, oh how [Ab] I hate to write, Dear John, I must let you [Db] know tonight
That my love for you has [Ab] died away like grass [Ebm] upon boulogne
[Ab] And tonight I'll wed another, [Db] dear John, dear John
I was overseas [Ab] in battle when the postman came to me
He handed me a letter and I was just as happy [Db] as I can be
Cause the fighting was all over and the battles had all been won
But then [Ebm] I opened up the letter [Ab] and it started, [Db] Dear John, dear John
Will you please send back my [Ab] picture, my husband wants it now
When I tell you who I'm wedding, you won't care, dear, [Db] anyhow
And it hurts me so to tell you that my [Bbm] love for you is gone
But tonight I'll wed your brother, [Ab] dear John
Tonight I'll wed another, [Db] dear John
Dear John, oh how [Ab] I hate to write, Dear John, I must let you [Db] know tonight
That my love for you has [Ab] died away like grass [Ebm] upon boulogne
[Ab] And tonight I'll wed another, [Db] dear John, dear John
I was overseas [Ab] in battle when the postman came to me
He handed me a letter and I was just as happy [Db] as I can be
Cause the fighting was all over and the battles had all been won
But then [Ebm] I opened up the letter [Ab] and it started, [Db] Dear John, dear John
Will you please send back my [Ab] picture, my husband wants it now
When I tell you who I'm wedding, you won't care, dear, [Db] anyhow
And it hurts me so to tell you that my [Bbm] love for you is gone
But tonight I'll wed your brother, [Ab] dear John
Tonight I'll wed another, [Db] dear John
