Please, Mr. please
D
1. In the corner of
the bar there stands a jukebox,
Em - A
with the best of country music, old and
new,
A7 A
you can hear your five selections for a
quarter,
A7
D
and somebody else's songs when yours are
through.
D
I got good Kentucky whiskey on the
counter,
D7 G
and my friends around to help me ease the
pain,
D
'til some button-pushing cowboy plays that
love song,
Em A D
and here I am just missing you again.
- - - - - - - - - - D Em -
A
Please, Mr., please,
don't play B -17,
Em A G-D
it was our song, it
was his song, but it's over.
Em A
Please, Mr., please,
if you know what I mean,
Em A D
I don't ever wanna
hear that song again.
D
2. If I had a dime
for every time I held you,
Em - A
though you're far away, you've been so
close to me.
A7 A
I could swear I'd be the richest girl in
Nashville,
A7 D
maybe even in the state of Tennessee.
D
But I guess I'd better get myself together
,
D7 G
'cause when you left, you didn't leave too
much behind,
D
just a note that said, "I'm
sorry", by your picture,
Em A D
and a song that's weighing heavy on my
mind.
