As recorded by Jean Shepard and Ferlin Husky Written by Lewis Talley, Fuzzy Owen and Billy Barton CHORUS st Fret/KEY: Bb/PLAY: hate to write Dear John, I must let you know tonight That my love for you has died Away, like grass upon the lawn And John. Narration: (Chorus melody played in background) I was overseas in battle When the postman came to me And he handed me a letter I was happy as can be For the fighting was all over And the battle just had been won Then I opened up the letter And it started, Dear John. CHORUS Narration: Will you please send back my picture My husband wants it now When I tell you who I'm wedding You won't care, dear, anyhow Now the ceremony has started And I'll wed your brother, Don Will you wish us happiness, forever Dear John. CHORUS
