#1.
D
In the corner of the bar there stands a jukebox..
EmA
with the best of country music, old and new.
A7A
You can hear your five selections for a quarter..
A7D
and somebody else's songs when yours are through.
D
I got good Kentucky whiskey on the counter..
D7G
and my friends around to help me ease the pain.
D
Til some button-pushing cowboy plays that love song..
EmAD
and here I am just missing you again.
Chorus:
DEmA
Please, Mr., please, don't play B..Seventeen.
EmAGD
It was our song, it was his song, but it's o...ver.
DEmA
Please, Mr., please, if you know what I mean..
EmAD
I don't ever want to hear that song again.
#2.
D
If I had a dime for every time I held you.
EmA
Though you're far away, you've been so close to me.
A7A
I could swear I'd be the richest girl in Nashville..
A7D
maybe even in the state of Tennessee.
D
But I guess I'd better get myself together.
D7G
Cause when you left, you didn't leave too much behind.
GD
Just a note that said 'I'm sorry,' by your picture..
EmAD
and a song that's weighing heavy on my mind.
Chorus:
DEmA
Please, Mr., please, don't play B..Seventeen.
EmAGD
It was our song, it was his song, but it's o...ver.
DEmA
Please, Mr., please, if you know what I mean..
EmAD
I don't ever want to hear that song again.
