Hi!  I just watched Dear John and looked up this song
and wasn't satisfied with the other versions, so I did my
own! This song is so sweet and I really love it! It's 
easy to play too!      Have fun:)

Playing the alternate G* makes a slight change that sounds good. 
It's really easy, just add the pointer.  But make sure you're not 
still muting(x) the 'A' and strum it too;)
G  [3x0033]
G* [320033]

Standard Tuning   **I put ellipses (...) after chords that are  
Capo on 2           strummed only once, letting the chord ring out.

Intro (The D is strummed once fast, immediately going into the C)
