Dear John Letter Chords

[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
 
 
[Verse]
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"
 
 
[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
 
 
[Verse]
 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?
