Recorded by Jean Shepard and Ferlin Husky

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
 
Spoken:
C
I was overseas in battle
         G7
When the postman came to me
 
And he handed me a letter
                       C
I was happy as I could be
 
 
For the fighting was all over
        F
And the battle had been won
       G7
Then I opened up the letter
                    C
And it started dear John
 
Repeat #1
 
Spoken:
C
Will you please send back my picture
           G7
My husband wants it now
 
When I tell you who I'm wedding
                       C
You won't care dear anyhow
 
 
Now the ceremony has started
         F
And I'll wed your brother Don
         G7
Will you wish us happiness forever
     C
Dear John
