Jim Reeves Medley Chords by Dick Curless

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
I've been drumming here [G] last weekend.
We played at a [E] beautiful theater up there.
It's just a gorgeous place
to entertain [F] ahead of marvelous time and it was during the first show that
Friend of mine asked me to do a Jim Reeves medley because I understand Jim Reeves is [A] very very popular here in Norway
Because I say I met Jim in
1957
his [E] producer ended up producing
_ [A] My [Eb] records also the guy that wrote he'll have to go for Jim became my producer
So because of the affiliation and also because of the influence in my career, I'd like to do you medley of Jim Reeves songs _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Put your sweet lips [D] a little closer
to [A] the phone
_ _ Let's pretend that we're together all [E] All _ _ _
I'll tell [A] them to turn the jukebox _
way down low
And you can tell your friend [E] there with you.
He'll [A] have to go
[E] _ _
_ Whisper to me [D] tell me do you love me?
_ _ _ or is he Holding you
The [E] way I do _
Though love [A] is blind
Make up your mind.
I've [D] got to know
_ [A] Should I hang [E] or will you tell him he'll have [A] to go
_ [A] _ You [D] can't say the words.
I wanna hear [A] while you're with
Another man, do you [D] want me answer?
Yes, sir
_ Darling, I [E] will understand _ _
_ [A] Put your sweet lips a [D] little closer [A] to the phone
_ _ Let's pretend that we're together
[E] all along _ _
I'll tell [A] the man to turn the jukebox
Way [D] down low
And [A] you can tell your [E] friend there with you
[A] You'll have to go _ _
I'm just on the blue side [E] of lonesome
_ _ Right next to the heartbreak
_ [A] hotel
_ _ In a tavern that's known [E] as three teardrops _
On a bar stool
Not doing so well
[A] _ _ [D] The hands on the clock [A] never
Or _ _ [E] there is no [B] time in [E] this place _ _
There's [A] no present no past [E] no future
_ _ _ We're all just the same
[A] life's
out _ _ _ _ _ _ where
The bright lights are glowing
[Bm] _ _ _ [E] You're drawn like a mom to a flame
[E] _ _
[A] You laugh while the wine's [D] overflowing
_ _ _ While I sit [E] and whisper your [A] name _ _ _
For
_ _ [Bm] Walls to hear me
_ _ [E] For walls
[A] to see
[E] _ _ _ [A] _ For _
Walls [D] to near me
_ [A] _
Closing [E] _ _ [A] on me
_ Would your sweet lips a [D] little closer [A] to the phone
_ _ I'm just on the blue [E] side of lonesome _ _ _
Right next to the heartbreak
[A] _ hotel _
_ _ _ For _ [D] walls
to hear me
_ [E] _ _ Closing
_ _ _ _ on _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _
