DEAR JOHN LETTER (TO THE DEVIL)
*******************************
G
Well I used to love you but now that's hard to do
D C
Cause I got some information 'bout them evil things at night that you do
G
And the whole thing is through (we're through)
D
Oh you're such a devil
C G
how'd you get me to believe you were true (ooh)
**
G
Oh my mama warned me and how my daddy cried
D C
The day I left my home you said you'd always keep me satisfied
G
But oh how you lied (you lied)
D
Well I should have heard my mama's words
C G
But then I guess I had too much pride (original sin)
**
C D G
I used to lie awake at night and see your face on the ceilin'
Am
Oh, what a bad feelin'
C D G
When I think of how you almost got me in the ways of the world
D
In the ways of the world
Strum D four times
**
G
My so called friends said I misjudged you my anger's all in vain
D C
But I'm afraid you got to them before I had a chance to explain
G
And it caused me such pain (ooh ouch)
D
Cause they were such good friends of mine
C G
And now you've got them playin' your game (you creep)
**
C D G
I used to lie awake at night and see your face on the ceilin'
Am
Oh what a bad feelin'
C D G
Of how when I think of how you almost got me in the ways of the world
C
In the ways of the world

G
But I believe in Jesus and what he said he's gonna do
D C
Put an apple in your lyin' mouth and cook you in a sulfur stew (whew)
G
One that'll never be through (is it soup yet? No!)
D C G
Oh but if he hadn't rescued me then I'd be down there cookin' too
D
Oh if Jesus hadn't rescued me
C G
I'd be cookin' right next to you (ewww)
**
C D G
I used to lie awake at night and see your face on the ceilin'
Am
Oh, what a great feelin'
C D G
When I think of how you're gonna get yours at the end of the world
C
At the end of the world
D G
Oh at the end of the world
C G
At the end of the world
(End.)
