Love At The Five And Dime

Capo 1 - This sounds best 
fingerpicked!

You can also hear a high guitar 
picking. That guitar is capo'd
on 8 and played in key of D. (A=D, 
Asus2=Dsus2, D=G, Bm=Em)

A                       Asus2
Rita was sixteen years, hazel eyes 
and chestnut hair
D                              A
She made the Woolworth counter shine
A                              
And Eddie was a sweet romancer and a
Asus2
 darn good dancer
    D                              
And they'd waltz the aisles of the 
         A
five and dime

Eddie played the steel guitar and 
his mama cried 'cuz he played in the
 bars
And kept young Rita out late at 
night

So, they married up in Abilene, lost
 a child in Tennessee
Oh but still that love survived
             A                   
Cause they'd sing, Dance a little 
             D
closer to me
D                       A
Dance a little closer now
A                        Bm     E
Dance a little closer tonight
A                        Bm
Dance a little closer to me cause 
it's closing time
    D                 E           
And love's on sale tonight at this
          A
 five and dime


One of the boys in Eddie's band took
 a shine to Rita's hands
So Eddie ran off with the bass man's
 wife
Oh' but he was back by June singin' 
a different tune
And sportin' Miss Rita back by his 
side

Chorus - "He sang"

Eddie traveled with the barroom 
bands till arthritis took his hands
Now he sells insurance on the side
Rita's got a house to keep, 
dimestore novels and a love so sweet
They dance to the radio late at 
night

Chorus

Repeat 1st verse

They'd waltz the aisles of the five 
and dime
They'd waltz the aisles of the five 
and dime
