Love At The Five And Dime Chords

[Verse 1]
 
G
Rita was sixteen years, hazel eyes and chestnut hair
C                              G
She made the Woolworth counter shine
G
And Eddie was a sweet romancer and darn good dancer
C                                          G
And they'd waltz the aisles of the five and dime
 
And they'd sing
 
 
[Chorus]
 
G
Dance a little closer to me
Am
Dance a little closer now
G                       Am
Dance a little closer tonight
G
Dance a little closer to me
Am                                                              
'cause it's closing time and love's on 
                                G
sale tonight at this five and dime.
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
G
Eddie played the steel guitar and his momma cried 

'cause he played in the bars
C                                  G
And he kept young Rita out late at night
G
So they married up in Abilene, lost a child in Tennessee
C                      G
But still that love survived
 
 
'Cause they'd sing
 
 
[Chorus]
 
G
Dance a little closer to me
Am
Dance a little closer now
G                       Am
Dance a little closer tonight
G
Dance a little closer to me
Am                                                              
'cause it's closing time and love's on 
                                G
sale tonight at this five and dime.
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
G
One of the boys in Eddie's band took a shine to Rita's hand
C                                    G
So Eddie ran off with the bass-man's wife
G
Oh, but he was back by June singin' a different tune
C                                  G
And sporting Miss Rita back by his side
 
And he'd sing
 
 
[Chorus]
 
G
Dance a little closer to me
Am
Dance a little closer now
G                       Am
Dance a little closer tonight
G
Dance a little closer to me
Am                                                              
'cause it's closing time and love's on 
                                G
sale tonight at this five and dime.
 
 
[Verse 4]
 
G
Eddie traveled with the bar room band till 

arthritis took his hands
C                                  G
Now he sells insurance on the side
G
And Rita's got her house to keep; 

she writes dime store novels of love so sweet
C                               G
They dance to the radio late at night
 
And still sing
 
 
[Chorus]
 
G
Dance a little closer to me
Am
Dance a little closer now
G                       Am
Dance a little closer tonight
G
Dance a little closer to me
Am                                                              
'cause it's closing time and love's on 
                                G
sale tonight at this five and dime.
