Jerry Jeff Walker - Dear John Letter guitar chord

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

***CHORUS:

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

***CHORUS***

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
