Chords for Keith Green - Dear John Letter (To The Devil) (live)

_ I like this song and it's called Dear John Litter to the Devil.
Y'all know what a dear John Litter is? _
It's what a _ _ wife or a girlfriend or a reasonable facsimile
would write home to her husband or boyfriend or reasonable, whatever.
And it would say in the letter just very shortly, you know,
get captured, you know, or something like that.
And the Lord wanted me to write off _ _ _ Beelzebub.
Completely write the dude off, right?
[G] So I wrote this song and it kind of describes how we were once bosom buddies
_ and how now we're arch enemies.
_ _ [C] _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Oh, I used to love you, but now that's hard to do
cause I got some information about them evil things at [B] night that [C] you do. _ _ _
Now the whole thing [G] is true. _ _ _
_ Oh, [D] you're such a devil.
[Em] How'd you get me to [C] [Gm] believe you were [G] true? _ _ _ _
_ _ Oh, my daddy warned me how my mama cried.
The day I left my home, you said you'd always keep me [B] [C] satisfied. _ _ _ _
But oh, how [G] you lied, you lied. _ _
_ Well, [D] I should have heard my [Em] mama's words,
but then I guess [C] I had [Gm] too much [G] pride.
Original sin.
[Dm] _ [G] [C] Oh, I used to [B] lie awake at night and see your [Em] face on the ceiling.
Oh, what [C] a bad fear.
_ [G] When I think of how you [D] almost got me in the ways [G] of the world. _ _ _
_ My so-called friends say I've misjudged you.
My anger's all in vain.
But I'm afraid you got to them before I had a [B] chance [C] to explain.
You creep. _
And it caused me [G] such pain. _ _ _
_ Oh, [D] cause they were such good [Em] friends of mine,
but now you've [C] got them [G] playing your game. _ _ _
[Dm] _ [G] _ [C] Oh, I used to [B] lie awake at night and see your face on [E] the [Em] ceiling.
Oh, [C#] what a [C] bad fear.
_ [G] When I think of how you almost [D] got me in the ways [G] of the world.
In the ways of [C] the world.
Oh, in the ways [G] _ _ of [C] the world.
[D] _ _ [G] _ _ So _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
cheaper [B] _ _ [C] _ _ _ than a guitar player.
_ [G] _ Believe _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _
[C] _ [Gm] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ in Jesus and what he said he's going to do.
He'll put an apple in your lying mouth.
Cook you in a sofa [C] stew. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ One [G] that'll never be through. _
_ _ Oh, yeah.
[D] Oh, but if he hadn't rescued [Em] me, then I'd be [C] down there cooking [G] too. _
Oh, [D] if Jesus hadn't [Em] rescued me, then I'd be [C] cooking right next to [G] you.
_ [F] _ [G] [C] Oh, I used to lie [B] awake at night and see your face [Em] on the ceiling.
[C#] What a [C] great feeling [D] I have when I [G] think of how you're going [D] to get yours.
At the end [G] of the world.
At the end [C] of the world.
Oh, at the _ [G] _ _
end of [C] the world.
Oh, [D] at the end of [G] the world.
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na.
_ [N] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Yes, at the end of the world.
Oh, wow. _ _
