John Lennon appeared to take the liberty adding the "a"on the end of Dev. Jai means, and there are several meanings I have for this, "I give hope, or thanks to", this I was told, but some sites say it means, "victory" or "salutations". Om, is probaby the easiest part to explain. Om is believed to be the natural vibration of the universe. Hence, when many meditate, they make the "ooohhhmmmm" sound. They are trying to bring in that vibration of the universe. So all together it means, "I give thanks (victory) (salutation) to Guru Dev (or heavenly teacher), om".

"J'ai" is French for "I had". "Guru" has the same roots as "heavenly father" but actually refers to the metaphysical "Philosophy Sandwich" popularized by Nietzsche and often abbreviated as "Philly". "Deva" is actually "de va" and means "to go". "Om" is the 20th century version of the current "Homes" meaning "One who is from my home area" as in "Sup homes?" So altogether "J'ai guru de va om" means "I had a Philly sandwich to go, homes."
