Please, Mister, Please:Olivia Newton-John.
#1 in 1975.
             (Capo 3rd fret.)

#1.

In the corner of the bar there stands a jukebox..
                                         
with the best of country music, old and new.
                                      
You can hear your five selections for a quarter..
                                       
and somebody else's songs when yours are through.

I got good Kentucky whiskey on the counter..
                                        
and my friends around to help me ease the pain.
                                          
Til some button-pushing cowboy plays that love song..
                            
and here I am just missing you again.

CHORUS:
                                     
Please, Mr., please, don't play B..Seventeen.
                                           
It was our song, it was his song, but it's o...ver.
                                     
Please, Mr., please, if you know what I mean..
                                 
I don't ever want to hear that song again.

#2.

If I had a dime for every time I held you.
                                                 
Though you're far away, you've been so close to me.
                                       
I could swear I'd be the richest girl in Nashville..
                               
maybe even in the state of Tennessee.

But I guess I'd better get myself together.
                                               
Cause when you left, you didn't leave too much behind.
                                          
Just a note that said 'I'm sorry,' by your picture..
                                    
and a song that's weighing heavy on my mind.

CHORUS:
                                     
Please, Mr., please, don't play B..Seventeen.
                                           
It was our song, it was his song, but it's o...ver.
                                     
Please, Mr., please, if you know what I mean..
                                 
I don't ever want to hear that song again.
