  Em    G    D    Em    
  Em    G    D    Em 
 
 
[Verse]

  Em            G             D    Em
Cross the border in the summer of '73
                G            
Left my mother to go after 
  D          Em
The American Dream
    G   D           Em
Ooh, threw away my name
    G     D      
Ooh, it's easier 
         Em
When it sounds the same
 
 
[Verse]

            G              D             
All I ever wanted was for you to 
               Em
Have a better chance
                     
Go to college, 
 G                 D 
Find a good girl that  
              Em
You take to a dance
Bm    Am
Ooh
 Em
Pictured you with her
Bm    Am
Ooh
      Em            F
But that was never who you were
 
 
[Chorus]

         C     G/B     D         
And I'm sorry for the things 
     Em
I've done
   C         G/B      D     Em
A misguided love to my only son
  C           G/B         D      
Trying to protect you, but 
       B/D#    Em
I guess I was wrong
    C           Cm      
So send my love, send my  
         Em   G D Em
Love to John
 
 
[Instrumental]

  Em    G    D    Em    Em   
 
 
[Verse]

 Em             G               
Saw the way the kids treated 
   D            Em
You every day at school
                          G           
I should've blamed them, but instead 
   D              Em
I hid behind the Bible's rules
Bm    Am
Ooh
  Em
Prayed to God above
Bm    Am
Ooh
    Em             F
But all you needed was my love
 
 
 
[Chorus]

         C     G/B     D    
And I'm sorry for the things 
     Em
I've done
   C         G/B      D     Em
A misguided love to my only son
             C                
We had both had to leave our 

G/B        D        B/D#     Em
Mothers to get the things we want
    C           Cm       
So send my love, send my 
        Bm   Am Em
Love to John,
      Bm    Am    Em
Ooh, John
 
 
[Bridge]

       Am                                    
And I see that he takes care of 
              Bm
You from the food he makes
                      C                  
He's there for you in all the 
              D
ways I never was, ooh
 
 
[Chorus]
         C     G/B     D        
And I'm sorry for the things
       Em
 I've done
   C         G/B      D     Em
A misguided love to my only son
       C               G/B    
But I love to see you happy and 
D           B/D#   Em
Right where you  belong
    C           Cm            
So send my love, oh, 
 C 
Send my love,
  Cm              Em    G    D   Em
 send my love to John
 
 
[Ending]
