[Intro 1]
[G][Eb]
[G][Eb]
Dear [G]John

[Verse 1]
He spent a lifetime counting money
[Eb]So l[G]ong
The years they all [Eb]merge
into one
68, 79, 82, and [C#]95
He made a living from account[Ab]ancy
But then [Ddim]he cried I've
had [Fm]enough[C#]

[Verse 2]
He said [Gm]Baby
Do [C]you read me?
I think these [Adim]numbers are
Beginning to [Gm]eat me

[Verse 3]
He said [Gm]Baby
Do [C]you read me?
I think these [Adim]numbers are
Beginning to [Gm]eat me

[Interlude 1]
[Gm][D]
[Gm][D][Adim]

[Verse 4]
[G]Dear John
Why don't you answer your call[Eb]s?
He's had enough of doing
your tax returns
What's [G]wrong?
You're not at work or at home
[Eb]He's on a train heading
down to the coast
[Db]Picked up your leather briefcase
[Ab]on t[Fm]he beach
And a message [Ddim]on your dictaphone

[Verse 5]
[Db]And it said [Gm]Baby
Do [C]you read me?
I think these [Adim]numbers are
Beginning to [Gm]eat me

[Verse 6]
And it said Baby
Do [C]you read me?
I think these [Adim]numbers are
Beginning to eat me
[Gm]

[Verse 7]
[C#]Some say he made the swim
to [Ab]Normandy
[Ddim]And lost his heart to [Gm]a local [C]girl
[Db]They lived with 25 of her [Ab]family
One [Ddim]mother
One father
Three sisters
Four brothers
Eight nephews
Eight nieces
Two uncles
Three aunts
Plus
Three dogs
[Db]Equals

[Verse 8]
[Gm]Goodbye
[C]Farewell
Cheeri[Adim]o
[G]See [Gm]ya
Adieu
Au re[C]voir
[Adim]Toodle p[Eb]ip

[Outro 1]
So long
