In the first verse you only play the bass tone for every chord once.
[FIRST VERSE]
G C
Tell me where did John Lennon go
G D
He left us too soon
G C G D
Is he having a party with the man in the moon
Em C G D
Is it tea time where he is or just before noon
G C
Tell me where did John Lennon go
D G
He left us too soon
G C G D D
[SECOND VERSE]
G C
And where did the future go?
G D D
It left us too soon
G C
I've heard it on records
G D D
I've seen the cartoons
Em C G D
Is it inspected, dissected and collected in jars
G C D G
And put neatly with labels on a mountain on Mars
C G D D
[THIRD VERSE]
G C
And where did John Lennon go?
G D D
He left us behind
G C G D D
Did he leave us a letter with his regards kind
Em C G D
Saying "just walk your own way as I'm walking mine
G C D G
'Cause you'll see something new if you won't pass it by"
C G D D
[FOURTH VERSE]
G C
And where did John Lennon go
G D D
His wife is just outside
G C G D D
Tell me where did he go to and where does he hide
Em C
'Cause we might want to see him

I know I have tried
G C D G
Even fall as he told us in a song when he cried
[OUTRO]
C G D D
