Accuracy Rating: - Votes: -
Bb           Bbsus2
Rita was sixteen years, hazel eyes and chestnut hair

Eb               Bb   Bbsus4 Bb
She made the Woolworth counter shine

Bb              Bbsus2
And Eddie was a sweet romancer and darn good dancer

Eb                     Bb
And they'd waltz the aisles of the five and dime

And they'd sing


Chorus:


Bb
Dance a little closer to me

Cm7
Dance a little closer now

Bb            Cm11
Dance a little closer tonight

Bb
Dance a little closer to me

Cm7              Cm11                  Bb
'cause it's closing time and love's on sale tonight at this five and dime.


Verse 2:


Bb                  Bbsus2
Eddie played the steel guitar and his momma cried 'cause he played in the bars

Eb                 Bb  Bbsus4 Bb
And he kept young Rita out late at night

Bb               Bbsus2
So they married up in Abilene, lost a child in Tennessee

Eb           Bb
But still that love survived


'Cause they'd sing


Chorus:


Bb
Dance a little closer to me

Cm7
Dance a little closer now

Bb            Cm11
Dance a little closer tonight

Bb
Dance a little closer to me

Cm7              Cm11                  Bb
'cause it's closing time and love's on sale tonight at this five and dime.


Verse 3:


Bb                Bbsus2
One of the boys in Eddie's band took a shine to Rita's hand

Eb                  Bb  Bbsus4 Bb
So Eddie ran off with the bass-man's wife

Bb              Bbsus2
Oh, but he was back by June singin' a different tune

Eb                 Bb
And sporting Miss Rita back by his side

And he'd sing


Chorus:


Bb
Dance a little closer to me

Cm7
Dance a little closer now

Bb            Cm11
Dance a little closer tonight

Bb
Dance a little closer to me

Cm7              Cm11                  Bb
'cause it's closing time and love's on sale tonight at this five and dime.


Verse 4:


Bb                   Bbsus2
Eddie traveled with the bar room band till arthritis took his hands

Eb                 Bb    Bbsus4 Bb
Now he sells insurance on the side

Bb                   Bbsus2
And Rita's got her house to keep; she writes dime store novels of love so sweet

Eb                Bb
They dance to the radio late at night

And still sing


Chorus:


Bb
Dance a little closer to me

Cm7
Dance a little closer now

Bb            Cm11
Dance a little closer tonight

Bb
Dance a little closer to me

Cm7              Cm11                  Bb
'cause it's closing time and love's on sale tonight at this five and dime.


Verse 1:

Eb                     Bb
And they'd waltz the aisles of the five and dime

Eb                     Bb
And they'd waltz the aisles of the five and dime
