Capo 1st fret

Standard (EADGBE)

 Cotton candy was king

 On the midway that spring

 When I saw you in the ring on the lawn

 Dear John

 Throwing kisses so Richmond's unfortunates can go on

 Oh, the lectures I gave

 So the girls would behave

 While the band played all your favorite songs

 Dear John

 Throwing kisses so Richmond's unfortunates can go on

 But numbers come up and you're left to the fates

 Though I always thought you were one of the greats

 Once somebody stationed in Kuala Lumpur

 Said he thought you went out, but he couldn't be sure

Guitar solo

, ...)

 And the midway I knew

 Where the sky was so blue

 With the memory of you is gone

 Dear John

 Throwing kisses so Richmond's unfortunates can go on

 Throwing kisses so Richmond's unfortunates can go on

 Throwing kisses so Richmond's unfortunates can go on

 Throwing kisses so Richmond's unfortunates can go on

 Throwing kisses so Richmond's unfortunates can go on
