Lời & hợp âm

[Intro 1]
[G][C][G][Em][G]

[Verse 1]
Rita was sixteen [G]years,
hazel eyes and chestnut [C]hair
She really made the Woolworth
counter [G]shine
Eddie was a sweet romancer,
and a darn good [C]dancer
They'd waltz the aisles of the
five and dime
[G][C]

[Verse 2]
[G]
Eddie played the steel guitar,
and his mama cried 'cause he played [C]in the bars
And kept young Rita out late [G]at night
So they married up in Abilene,
lost a child [C]in Tennessee
Still that love survived,
[G]'cause they'd sing

[Verse 3]
Dance a little closer [Am]to me,
dance a little [D]closer [Am]now[G]
Dance a little closer to[Am]night[D][G]
Dance a little closer to [Am]me,
'cause it's closing time
And love's on sale [D]tonight
at this five and dime
[G]

[Verse 4]
One of the boys in Eddie's band
took a shine to Rita's hands
[C]So Eddie ran off with
the bass man's [G]wife
Oh, but he was back by June,
singin' a different tune
[C]And sportin' miss Rita
back by is [G]side
And he sang

[Verse 5]
Dance a little closer [Am]to me,
dance a little closer [G]now
Dance a little closer to[Am]night[D][G]
Dance a little closer to [Am]me,
'cause it's closing time
And love's on sale tonight
[D]at this five and dime
[G]

[Verse 6]
Eddie traveled with the barroom
bands till arthritis took his hands
[C]Now he sells insurance on
[G]the side[Dsus4][G]
Rita's got a house to keep,
dimestore novels and a love so [C]sweet
They dance to the radio late at [G]night
And they [C]sing[G]

[Verse 7]
Dance a little [G]closer to me,
[Am]dance a little close[D]r now[Am][G]
Dance a little closer to[Am]night[D][G]
Dance a little closer to me,
[Am]hey it's clos [Dsus4]ing time[Am]
And love's on sale [D]tonight at
this five and [G]dime

[Verse 8]
[Dsus4]Rita was sixte[D]en y[G]ears,
hazel eyes and chestnut hair
[Am]She really made the Woolworth
[D]coun[Am] ter shine
Eddie [G]was a sweet romancer,
