D
I got home today
G
Took a look around
D                           Bm
Trying to find that girl of mine
G/E          G         G/G#  A 
She could not be found

D
All her things were gone
G
She just left a note
D                      Bm
It don't take no mastermind
     G                       D
To figure what she wrote


                    G/D   D          G/D        D
And she said dear John I'm moving on
G/D      D                     C          G
By this time I'm gonna be long gone
G/D   D      G/D      D
Dear John c'est la vie
D/G   G     Am/C    C
Dear John so        long

You've seen the last of me

D
I don't want her back
G
I won't even try
D                           Bm
This time ain't just au revoir
G/E G/F   G       G/G#    A
This time it's goodbye

D
We could not go on
G
Living like we were
D                  Bm
I was just about to write
G                             D
A Dear John note to her

I was gonna say

Dear John I'm mov-ing on
By this time I'm gonna be long gone
Dear John c'est la vie
Dear John so long
You've seen the last of me
