  • [Open G tuning (DGDGBD). Capo 3.]
    [For the verses, see the tab at the end. For the chorus, I'm not sure
    exactly how to finger the chords. I think it might be like this:
  • G=000000, Am7=x22012, Am7(4)=x20012.]
     
    G Gsus2
  • Rita was sixteen years, hazel eyes and chestnut hair
    C/G G
    She really made the Woolworth counter shine
  • G Gsus2
    Eddie was a sweet romancer, and a darn good dancer
    C G
  • They'd waltz the aisles of the 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
    Still that love survived, 'cause they'd sing
  •  
    G Am7
    Dance a little closer to me, dance a little closer now
  • G Am7(4)
    Dance a little closer tonight
    G Am7
  • Dance a little closer to me, 'cause it's closing time
    Am7(4) G
    And love's on sale tonight at this 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 is side. And he sang...
     
  • Dance a little closer to me, dance a little closer now
    Dance a little closer tonight
    Dance a little closer to me, 'cause it's closing time
  • And love's on sale tonight at this five and dime
     
    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. And they sing:
  •  
    Dance a little closer to me, dance a little closer now
    Dance a little closer tonight
  • Dance a little closer to me, hey it's closing time
    And love's on sale tonight at this five and dime
     
  • Rita was sixteen years, hazel eyes and chestnut hair
    She really made the Woolworth counter shine
    Eddie was a sweet romancer, and a darn good dancer
  • And they'd waltz the aisles of the five and dime...
