Dear John Letter
Recorded by Jean Shepard and Ferlin Husky

(capo 1st fret key Bb play A)

 [A] Dear John, Oh, how I [E7] hate to write
Dear John, I must let you know [A] tonight
That my love for you has [A7] died
Away, like [D] grass upon the lawn
And [E7] tonight I'll wed another, Dear [A] John.

(spoken))
[A] I was overseas in battle
When the [E7] postman came to me
And he handed me a letter
I was happy as can be [A]
For the fighting was all over
And the [D] battle just had been won
Then I [E7] opened up the letter
And it started,(start singing here)Dear [A] John.
(repeat first verse)

(spoken)
Will you please send back my picture
My husband wants it now
When I tell you who I'm wedding
You won't care, dear, anyhow
Now the ceremony has started
And I'll wed your brother, Don
Will you wish us happiness, forever Dear John.

[A] Dear John, Oh, how I [E7] hate to write
Dear John, I must let you know [A] tonight
That my love for you has [A7] died
Away, like [D] grass upon the lawn
And [E7] tonight I'll wed another, Dear [A] John.
