Please, Mr. please (Listen to midi)    (Listen to sample)

 

               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.
