DEAR JOHN LETTER LOUNGE
sung by Jerry Jeff Walker
written by Rick Cardwell


Verse 1

        D
Well I guess its finally happened
    G                 D
I'm tired of running 'round

I thank you for waitin' on me
             A
while I was a paintin' the town
    D
For years and years you stood by me
G                         D
Tellin' me I'm ruinin' my life

I'm tired of all these honky tonks
         A            D
And that fly by night life

Verse 2

      D
Well, tonight a bottle stands alone
       G                D
In the Dear John Letter Lounge
                         
Waitin' on me for company,
              A
But I won't be around
     D                            
Find someone else to take my place
G                  D
While I rejoin the wife
                      
Cause I'm tired of all these Honky Tonks
         A            D
And that fly by night life

Chorus:

    G                          
Old Ira's tendin' bar right now
         D                   
Probably wonderin' where I am
D                                A  
Zekey's sharkin' pool, for five a throw
        D                  
And Old Lucy Fay Lorraine's
       G                D 
Takin' side bets on the game
                      A                  D
And old Pop Fox keeps sayin' he's got to go

D  G  D  A  D  ( short instrumental break played to melody of the last half of verse)

Verse 3

    D
I'm gonna miss old Jim and all my friends
       G                D
In the Dear John Lounge downtown
                                        
I'm gonna miss ole Willie on the Jukebox
          A
Singin' songs round after round
          D                        
I'm gonna miss the face of strangers
        G              D
And the steady passers by
                                         
I'm gonna miss the Dear John Letter Lounge
         A            D
And that fly by night life

Chorus:

    G                         
Old Ira's tendin' bar right now
         D                    
Probably wonderin' where I am
D                                     A
Zekey's sharkin' pool, for five a throw
        D                    
And old Lucy brings the drinks
           G                D
She takes a side bet on the game
                      A                  D
And old Pop Fox keeps sayin' he's got to go
