Please, Mr. Please

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.

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.
