Jerry Jeff Walker – Dear John Letter (Guitar)

       C
Well I think it finally happened

    F                 C
I'm tired of running 'round

  C
I thank you for waitin' on me

            G
While I was paintin' up the town

    C
For years and years you stood by me

      F           C
While I ruined my life

    C
I'm tired of all these honky tonks

         G            C
And that fly by night life

    F
Old Ira's tendin' bar right now

         C
Probably wonderin' where I am

C                                 G
Ziggy's sharkin' pool, for five a throw

        C
And Old Lucy Fay Lorraine's

       F                C
Takin' side bets on the game

                      G                  C
And old Pop Fox keeps sayin' he's got to go

        C 
Tonight a bottle stands alone

   F                    C
At the Dear John Letter Lounge

  C
Waitin' on me for company,

            G
But I won't be around

     C
Find someone else to take my place

      F           C
While I rejoin my wife

       C
'Cause I'm tired of all these Honky Tonks

         G            C
And that fly by night life

    C
I'm gonna miss old Jim and all my friends

   F                    C
At the Dear John Lounge downtown

    C
I'm gonna miss ole Willie on the Jukebox

            G
Playin' songs round after round

    C
I'm gonna miss the face of strangers

       F          C
And the steady passers by

      C
Gonna miss the Dear John Letter Lounge

         G            C
And that fly by night life
