Dear John

       (Gustafson/Macauley)

verse:
C              F
Everybody was talking to me
 C             G
Like I was a child
C                       F
In their words I could hear them saying
      C                G
It's just a matter of time
D               Bb  Am   G         C
Anyway it's a long long race been run
D              Bb  Am  G         C
Anyway it's a sad sad song been sung


chorus:
 F
 C
Sometimes it's hard she said
 F               D7     Gsus-G

verse:
Vanity is hard old lady
You can't read her mind
I'm a fool but I don't fool easy
While you're foolin' around
Anyway I can hold my own tonight
I admit I was wrong and you where right

chorus:
Sometimes it's hard she said

chorus:
Sometimes it's hard she said
