[Verso 1]

F#m              A             E    F#m 
Cross the border in the summer of '73 
                A           E          F#m 
Left my mother to go after the American Dream 
    A   E          F#m 
Ooh, threw away my name 
    A     E              F#m 
Ooh, it's easier when it sounds the same 


[Verso 2]

           A              E             F#m 
All I ever wanted was for you to have a better chance 
               A                  E               F#m 
Go to college, find a good girl that you take to a dance 
C#m  Bm 
Ooh 
 F#m 
Pictured you with her 
C#m Bm 
Ooh 
    F#m             G 
But that was never who you were 


[Refrão]

         D     A       E           F#m 
And I'm sorry for the things I've done 
   D         A         E    F#m 
A misguided love to my only son 
 D            A            E             F#m 
Trying to protect you, but I guess I was wrong 
    D           Dm                F#m 
So send my love, send my love to John

[Verso 3]

F#m              A              E           F#m 
Saw the way the kids treated you every day at school 
                          A 
I should've blamed them, but instead 
   E              F#m 
I hid behind the Bible's rules 
C#m  Bm 
Ooh 
F#m 
Prayed to God above 
C#m  Bm 
Ooh 
    F#m             G 
But all you needed was my love

And I'm sorry for the things I've done

A misguided love to my only son 
            D                 A          E                 F#m 
We had both had to leave our mothers to get the things we want 
    D           Dm                C#m  Bm  F#m 
So send my love, send my love to John 
    C#m  Bm  F#m 
Oh, John 


[Ponte]

      Bm 
And I see that he takes care of you 
          C#m 
From the food he makes 
                      D 
He's there for you in all 
                 E 
The ways I never was, ooh 


[Refrão]

And I'm sorry for the things I've done 
   D         A         E    F#m 
A misguided love to my only son 
      D                 A        E                 F#m 
But I love to see you happy and right where you belong 
    D           Dm    D             Dm 
So send my love, oh, send my love, send

My love to John
