Intro: 

A/Bm/G/A x2

Verse 1: 

A                D                    A
Now lay me down on the warehouse ground.

      D   A                     D A
Later on, I don't go there now.

A          D              A     D
On and on, I know what to say.

D                A                            D A
She's never been taught but she knows the way.

Bridge: 

A             D     G              A
I was kidding love, I was kidding.

D                           G  A
But you just weren't smart enough to know it.

A           D                      A
I was lying love, they were lying

                       D                           G  A
when they said "if you love someone, let them go."

Chorus:

A        E           D         A
Dear John, I know we got along.

      F#m     E            D     A
I was right, sir, you were wrong.

A            E           D    A  
She will marry some self-made man.

F#m           E
I still write songs,

                A              Bm/D/A
but I miss your daughter John.

A           D            A/Bm/D/A
I miss your daughter John

Verse 2: 

A             Bm
Now there she lay,

         D          A
with her nose in place,

       Bm                         G      A
broken wrist, just the picture of grace.

A          Bm  G                   A
And on and on, what her father says

          D                                 G      A
Well he's never been shown but he knows what it is.

A             Bm             G     A
I was kidding love, I was kidding.

                     D                       A
But you just weren't smart enough to know it.

            D               A
I was lying love, they were lying 

                       D           G             A
when they said "if you love someone let 'em know."

D                         G                       A
Now, what if I stayed and did that thing for you?

D                                         F#m/E   D    A
What if I stayed and did that thing that's always true.

A
What's a man to do?

Chorus

F#m      E           D         A
Dear John, I know we got along.

F#m          E             D     A
I was right, sir, you were wrong.

She will marry some self-made man.

        F#m  E                                  D   A
I still write songs, but I miss your daughter, John.

Dear John, I know we got along.

      F#m      E           D    A  
I was right, sir, you were wrong.

She will marry some self-made man.

        F#m    E
I still write songs,

E                         A     Bm  D  A
But I miss your daughter, John.

A                          Bm  D  A
I miss your daughter, John.
