Dm                   F
Got a house full of walls
     G                  Bb                  F
And utility bills, every Monday the company calls
Dm                   F
Got a nice bed to sleep on,
       G                     Bb           F     
And a chest of drawers, where I keep those jewels of yours.
 C                  Bb       F                Bb
'Cause you're always mine to keep when you're gone
 C           Bb                F                Bb
Two silvers rings, one's on my finger and the other one's gone
        C            Bb          F Bb C  
It went underground with you, oh John,     (play the chord changes with the drawn out "Oh John" lyric)
Dm         F      G            Bb               F
Ten years pass, I ended up with a house full of cats
Dm                    F
But most of them went missing
            G         
Through that window you never fixed
     Bb             F
The door you never latched
Bb    Bb   Bb    Bb    Bb   Bb    Bb   (downward strum)
You were on your way out the last time.
 C                   Bb       F               Bb
'Cause you're always mine to keep when you're gone
C           Bb                 F                 Bb
Two silvers rings, one's on my finger and the other one's gone
        C            Bb       F Bb C   F Bb C   
It Went underground with you, oh John, oh John  C, Dm(b4) Dm(b5)
Dm                  F         G 
Knew what you were doing that summer
Dm    F          F
When Candie came around
Dm                       F
But I had too much hurt to bother you
         G                              Bb         F
When We lost our first child, a little payment was overdue
       Bb 
And I wanted you so bad
C                    Bb        F               Bb
'Cause you're always mine to keep when you're gone
C            Bb                 F                 Bb
Two silvers rings, one's on my finger and the other one's gone
      C            Bb      F Bb C   F Bb C
Went underground with you, oh John, oh John
F Bb C   F,   F (strum down once) G B F
Oh John, oh John,  
 G         F     G             Bb   F
I Miss you,      I miss you,   oh John
