Subject: 1953 DEAR JOHN HONKY TONK BLUES
THE 1953 DEAR JOHN, HONKY TONK BLUES
Recorded by Dave Dudley
Written by Harold Reid and Don Reid
[E] I keep the radio on, 'most all night long
Listen to the songs they play
Sometimes I hum, tap along with my thumb
Lis-[B7] ten to the words they say
And I [E] have to admit, those yesterday hits
Take me a back a year or [A] two
I get those [*E] 1953 [*B7] DEAR JOHN, HONKY TONK [E] BLUES
For [A] you,
I get those [E] 1953 [B7] DEAR JOHN, HONKY TONK [E] BLUES.
CHORUS
Well, [B7] I need help, when I hear 'NO HELP WANT-[E] ED'
[B7] Remembering where we first heard 'LOVESICK [E] BLU-UES'
[B7] Old songs make me wonder what you're [E] do-in' [A]
I get those [E] 1953 [B7] DEAR JOHN, HONKY TONK [E] BLUES.
CHANGE TO F:
[F] Gonna play this song for Roy and John
'WILD SIDE OF LIFE'
It's 'ROLY POLY', a GOLDEN OLDIE
For [C7] Carl and his brand new wife
Makes [F] me feel sad, but it ain't half-bad
Rememberin' the things I [Bb] do
I get those [*F] 1953 [*C7] DEAR JOHN, HONKY TONK [F] BLUES.
For [Bb] you,
I get those [F] 1953 [C7] DEAR JOHN, HONKY TONK [F] BLUES.
CHORUS
TAF: For [Bb] you,
I get those [F] 1953 [C7] DEAR JOHN, HONKY TONK [F] BLUES.
