Song: Dear John Letter 2 Tab
A DEAR JOHN LETTER
By Jean Shepard
LaserLight CD #12 112, Delta Music, Santa Monica, CA
Chorus>
Bb F
Dear John, Oh how I hate to write
F7 Bb
Dear John, I must let you know tonight
That my love for you has died,
Bb7 Eb
Away like grass upon the lawn
F7 Bb
And tonight I'll wed another Dear John
Recitation>
Bb F
I was overseas in battle, when the postman came to me
F7 Bb
And he handed me a letter, ah, I was happy as I could be
Bb7 Eb
For the fighting was all over, & the battle had been won
F7 Bb
But then I opened up the letter & it started "Dear John"
Repeat Chorus
Recitation>
Bb F
"Will you please send back my picture?
Cause my husband wants it now
F7
And when I tell you who I'm wedding
Bb
You won't care dear anyhow
Bb7
Now the ceremony has started
Eb
And I'll wed your brother Don
F7 Bb
Will you wish us happiness forever, Dear John?
