[Opening]
[D] [D7] [A7] [D7] [G] [A] [D]
In the [D]corner of the [D7]bar there stands a [D]jukebox [D7]
With the [D]best of country [D7]music, old and [Em7]new
[A7]You can [Em7]hear your five se[A7]lections for a [Em7]quarter [A7]
And some[G]body else’s songs when yours are [A7]through
[verse 2]
I got [D]good Kentucky [D7]whiskey on the [D]counter [D7]
And my [D]friends around to [D7]help me ease the [G]pain
Till some button pushin’ cowboy plays that [D]love song
And [Em7]here I am just [A7]missing you a[D]gain
[chorus]
Please Mr. [D]Please, don’t play [Em7]B Seven[A7]teen
It was [Em7]our song, it was [A7]his song, but it’s [G]o[D]ver
Please Mr. Please, if you [Em7]know what I [A7]mean
I don’t [Em7]ever wanna [A7]hear that song a[D]gain
[verse 3]
[D7] [Dm] [G] [A7] [D]
If I [D]had a dime for [D7]every time I [D]held you [D7]
Though you’re [D]far away, you’ve [D7]been so close to [Em7]me
[A7]I could [Em7]swear I’d be the [A7]richest girl in [Em7]Nashville
[A7]Maybe e[Em7]ven in the state of Tenne[A7]ssee
[Closing]
But I [D]guess I’d better [D7]get myself to[D]gether [D7]
‘Cause when you [D]left, you didn’t [D7]leave too much be[G]hind
Just a note that said “I’m sorry”, by your [D]picture
And a [Em7]song that’s weighing [A7]heavy on my [D]mind
[chorus]
Please Mr. [D]Please, don’t play [Em7]B Seven[A7]teen
It was [Em7]our song, it was [A7]his song, but it’s [G]o[D]ver
Please Mr. Please, if you [Em7]know what I [A7]mean
I don’t [Em7]ever wanna [A7]hear that song a[D]gain [Em7] [A] [D] [D7]
