	        D   
Well I guess it's finally happened   
    G                D  
I'm tired of runnin' round   
D   
I thank you for waitin' on me   
            A   
While I was paintin' the town   
    D   
For years and years you stood by me   
        G                 D   
Tellin' me I'm ruinin' my life   
    D   
I'm tired of all these honky tonks   
         A            D   
And that fly by night life  

        D    
Well, tonight a bottle stands alone   
       G                D   
In the Dear John Letter Lounge   
D   
Waitin' on me for company,   
    A   
But I won't be around   
     D   
Find someone else to take my place   
      G           D   
While I rejoin my wife   
           D   
'Cause I'm tired of all these Honky Tonks   
         A            D   
And that fly by night life   


G Old Ira's tendin' bar right now D Probably wonderin' where I am D A Zeke's sharkin' pool, for five a throw D And ole Lucy Fay Lorraine's makin' G D Side bets on the game A And old Pop Fox keeps sayin' D he's got to go
D I'm gonna miss old Jim and all my friends G D At the Dear John Lounge downtown D I'm gonna miss ole Willie on the Jukebox A Playin' songs round after round D Gonna miss the face of strangers G D And the steady passers by D I'm Gonna miss the Dear John Letter Lounge A D And that fly by night life ***CHORUS***
