Cotton candy was king
       D5     F5    C5      G5
On the midway that spring
       D5     F5       C5    Bb5     D5
When I saw you in the ring on the lawn
     C5 Bb5 D5
Dear John
         C5         Bb5           D5                F5 C5 G5 G5 G5         
Throwing kisses so Richmond's unfortunates can go on
        D5      F5  C5    G5
Oh, the lectures I gave
        D5        F5  C5    G5
So the girls would behave
          D5         F5         C5 Bb5     D5
While the band played all your favorite songs
     C5 Bb5 D5
Dear John
         C5         Bb5           D5                F5 C5 G5 G5 G5        
Throwing kisses so Richmond's unfortunates can go on
    A5            D5            Bb5          F5
But numbers come up and you're left to the fates
       A5           D5            Bb5          F5
Though I always thought you were one of the greats
     A5        D5             Bb5     F5
Once somebody stationed in Kuala Lumpur
        Bb5               F5           Bb5          A5    
Said he thought you went out, but he couldn't be sure

        D5    F5  C5    G5
And the midway I knew
          D5     F5   C5    G5
Where the sky was so blue
         D5    F5   C5 Bb5   D5
With the memory of you is gone
     C5 Bb5 D5
