Dear John

	  		F 
Well, when I woke up this mornin' 
F 
There was a note upon my door 
F 
Said don't make me no coffee Babe 
F 
'Cause I won't be back no more 
F 
And that's all she wrote, Dear John 
     C7               F 
I've sent your saddle home 
 
 
Now Jonah got along in the belly of the whale 
Daniel in the lion's den 
But I know a guy that didn't try to get along 
And he won't get a chance again 
And that's all she wrote, Dear John 
I've fetched your saddle home 
 
 
Now she didn't forward no address 
Nor she didn't say goodbye 
All she said was if you get blue 
Just hang your little head and cry 
And that's all she wrote, Dear John 
I've sent your saddle home 
 
 
Now my gal's short and stubby 
She's strong as she can be 
But if that little old gal of mine 
Ever get's a-hold of me 
That's all she wrote, Dear John 
I've sent your saddle home 
 
 
Now Jonah got along in the belly of the whale 
Daniel in the lion's den 
But I know a man that didn't try to get along 
And he won't get a chance again 
And that's all she wrote, Dear John 
I've fetched your saddle home 
 
 
Now I went down to the bank this morning 
The cashier said with a grin 
I feel so sorry for you Hank 
But your wife has done been in 
And that's all she wrote, Dear John 
I've sent your saddle home
