Dear John oh how I hate to write
C
Dear John I must let you know tonight
C7
That my love for you has died
F
Away like grass upon the lawn
G7
C
And tonight I’ll wed another dear John
C
I was overseas in battle
G7
When the postman came to me
C
I was happy as I could be
F
And the battle had been won
G7
Then I opened up the letter
C
And it started dear John
C
G7
Dear John oh how I hate to write
C
Dear John I must let you know tonight
C7
That my love for you has died
F
Away like grass upon the lawn
G7
C
And tonight I’ll wed another dear John
C
Will you please send back my picture
G7
My husband wants it now
C
You won’t care dear anyhow
F
And I’ll wed your brother Don
G7
Will you wish us happiness forever
C
Dear John
