DEAR JOHN LETTER (TO THE DEVIL)
*******************************
GWell I used to love you but now that's hard to do
Cause I got some information 'bout them Devil things at night that you Cdo
And the whole thing is Gthrough (we're through)
DOh you're such a devil 
Chow'd you get me to believe you were Gtrue (ooh)
**
GOh my mama warned me and how my daddy cried
The day I left my home you said you'd Dalways keep me satisCfied
But oh how you Glied (you lied)
Well I Dshould have heard my mama's words
But Cthen I guess I had too much Gpride (original sin)
**
CI used to lie awake at Dnight and see your face on the Gceilin'
Oh, what a bad Amfeelin'
When I Cthink of how you almost got Dme in the ways of the Gworld 
In the ways of the Dworld
Strum D four times
**
GMy so called friends said I misjudged you my anger's all in vain
But I'm afraid you got to them Dbefore I had a chance to Cexplain 
And it caused me such Gpain (ooh ouch)
Cause Dthey were such good friends of mine
And Cnow you've got them playin' your Ggame (you creep)
**
CI used to lie awake at Dnight and see your face on the Gceilin'
Oh what a bad Amfeelin' 
Of how when I Cthink of how you almost got Dme in the ways of the Gworld
In the ways of the Cworld
Oh in the Dways of the Gworld
In the Cways of the Gworld
Strum D four times
**
(Guitar Solo)
**
GBut I believe in Jesus and what he said he's gonna do
Put an apple in your lyin' mouth and Dcook you in a sulfur Cstew (whew)
One that'll never be Gthrough (is it soup yet? No!)
Oh but Dif he hadn't rescued me then CI'd be down there cookin' Gtoo
Oh if DJesus hadn't rescued me
CI'd be cookin' right next to Gyou (ewww)
**
CI used to lie awake at Dnight and see your face on the Gceilin'
Oh, what a great fAmeelin'
When I Cthink of how you're gonna get Dyours at the end of the Gworld
At the end of the Cworld
Oh at the Dend of the Gworld
At the Cend of the Gworld
(End.)
