Chords for Jean Shepard - Medley Of Hits - No. 1 West - 1990

[N] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Last night, _ _ _ me [E] in his _ _
[Bm] arms, _ [E] a _ lover's moon was shining _ bright and _
[A] _ clear.
He _ whispered words of love [E] so _ _ [Bm] tenderly, _ _ [E] but I couldn't say the words he [A] longed to _ hear.
I _ [D] thought of you and things that [A] might have _ been.
I thought of you and it was useless [E] to _ pretend.
_ _ _ [D] For when he asked me if I [A] loved him too, _ _ _ I [E] closed my eyes, beat hard, and thought [A] of _ you. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ _ _ As I _ sit here tonight, the [D] jukebox playing _ _ a [E] song about the wild [A] side of life.
_ _ As I listen to the _ words [D] you are saying, _ _ it [E] brings memories when I was a [A]-thustin' why.
_ It _ wasn't God who made honky [D]-tonk _ angels, _ _ as [E] you said in the words [A] of your _ song.
_ Too many _ times married men think they're [D] still single, _ _ and [E] it's caused many a good girl [A] to go _ wrong.
_ _ _ The [Bm] _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ news is out _ all [D] over _ town that you've [A] been _ seen _ out [E] running around. _ _ _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ I _ should [D] leave, but then _ I just [A] can't _ go _
[E] _ UN [A] _ again. _
This heart [D] of _ _ mine could _ [A] never see _ what every boy _ [F#] _ _
_ _ [B] but me.
_ [E] _
[C#m] Just _ [A] trustin' you _ was my [D] great sin.
_ What [A] can I _ _ [E] do? _
UN [A] _ again.
[F#] Here we go now.
_ [B] _ _ _ _ _ _
[Bm] We'd like to take [B] you back to about 1953. _ _
_ Well, some of us go back that far, some of us don't.
_ _ _ Most of these guys weren't even born at that time.
_ This made me lucky enough to be the first female in country music to sell a [E] million records.
I had an [B] old boy on in the name of Burland Husband, my very best buddy.
But next to my best buddy's here, and he's gonna play John, Brian Stellar, while we do the Dear John letter. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Dear _ _ John, _ oh how I [F#] hate to _ write.
_ Dear John, _ _ I must let you [B] know tonight.
_ _ _ [E] _ _ [B] _ _
For you have [D#m] styed away [E] like grass upon the lawn.
[D#m] And tonight I'll weep [F#] another.
_ Dear [B]
John.
_ _ I was overseas in battle _ _ when the postman came to me.
_ _ [F#] _ He handed me a letter.
_ I was as happy as I could be.
[B] _ _ For the fighting was all over _ and the battle had been won.
[E] _ _ _ [C#m] Then I opened [E] up your letter and it started, [F#] _ _ _ [B]
Dear John. _ _ _ _ _
Dear John.
Will you please send back my picture? _
[D#m] _ My husband [F#] wants it now. _ _
_ When I tell you who I'm marrying, _ you won't [B] care dear, anyhow. _ _ _
_ [G#m] _ [B] Now the ceremony has started and I'll [E] weep your brother gone. _ _
Hope you wish us happiness [F#] forever. _ _
Dear John.
[B] Dear _ [G#m] John. _
