D
I got home today
G
Took a look around
   D		    Bm
Trying to find that girl of mine
 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

Chorus:
	      D
And she said dear John I'm moving on
            	        C       G
By this time I'm gonna be long gone
D
Dear John c'est la  vie
 D    G   Am  C
Dear John so long
C			
You've seen the last of me

I don't want her back, I won't even try
This time isn't just au revoir, this time it's goodbye
We could not go on, living like we were
I was just about to write a 'Dear John' note to her

Chorus:
I was going to say, "Dear John, I'm moving on
By this time I'm going to be long gone
Dear John, c'est la vie, dear John
So long, you've seen the last of me"
She said, "Dear John, I'm moving on
By this time I'm going to be long gone
Dear John, c'est la vie, dear John
So long, you've seen the last of me"

Dear John, I'm moving on, by this time I'm going to
Be long gone, dear John, c'est la vie, dear John, so long
Dear John, I'm moving on, by this time I'm going to
Be long gone, dear John, c'est la vie, dear John, so long
Dear John, I'm moving on, by this time I'm going to
Be long gone, dear John, c'est la vie, dear John, so long
Dear John, I'm moving on, by this time I'm going to
Be long gone, dear John, c'est la vie, dear John, so long
