[Verse 1]
A                 E            A
My son John was a good boy and good 
to me,
 A                E             A
when we had hard times well he stood
 by me,
        D           E             
we were in work and out of work 
  A
and on the go,
      D              A            
if he had complaints I never heard
    E
 of one,
         D            E           
he would pitch in and help me like
   A
 a full grown man,
       Bm      E        A         
My son John,       John my son,
E    A



[Verse 2]
A                   E             
My son John went to college and he 
 A
made his way,
A                 E            A
had to earn every penny but he paid 
his way,

          D           E            
he worked summers and holidays and 
A
through the year,
       D           A              
and it was no easy struggle that 
  E
he won,
       D              E      
but he laughed at the ones who 
             A
thought he had it hard,
       Bm      E        A         
My son John,       John my son,
E    A



[Verse 3]
A                   E           
My son John got his uniform and went
A
 away,
A                   E            
With a band playing marches he 
   A
went away,
       D          E              
And he wrote me a letter when he had
A
 the time,
       D          A              
He was losing his buddies one by 
E
one,
      D                E          
And I prayed and tried not to read
   A
 between the lines,
       Bm     E        A         
My son John,      John my son,
E    A



[Verse 4]
A                     E          
My son John came home yesterday, 
     A
he’s here to stay,
A                 E             
Not a word to his father have I 
A
heard him say,
   D             E             A
He seems glad to be home but I can’t
 be sure,
       D         A                
When I asked him what he’s seen 
  E
and done,
        D         E              
He went up to his bedroom and he 
A
closed the door,
       Bm     E        A
My son John,      John my son,
        D         E              
He went up to his bedroom and he 
A
closed the door,
       Bm     E        A          
My son John,      John my son,
