“Love at the Five & Dime”
Written by Nanci Griffith
[Intro]
G G
C/G G
[Verse 1]
G Rita was sixteen years G hazel eyes and chestnut hair C/G G She made the Woolworth counter shine G And Eddie was a sweet romancer G And a darn good dancer C/G G When they'd waltz the aisles of the five & dime
[Verse 2]
G Now Eddie played the steel guitar G mama cried as he played the bars C/G G He kept young Rita out late at night G So they married up in Abilene G Lost a child in Tennessee C/G G Oh and still that love survived
[Chorus]
G Am cuz they'd sing dance a little closer to me G Dance a little closer now Am D Dance a little closer tonight G Am Dance a little closer to me Am Cuz it's closing time and love's on sale D G tonight at this five and dime
[Verse 3]
G One of the boys in Eddie's band G He took a shine to Rita's hand C/G G So Eddie ran off with the bass man's wife G Oh but he was back by June G singin' a different tune C/G G And sporting Ms. Rita back by his side
[Chorus]
G Am cuz he'd sing dance a little closer to me G Dance a little closer now Am D Dance a little closer tonight G Am Dance a little closer to me Am Cuz it's closing time and love's on sale D G tonight at this five and dime
[Instrumental]

G Eddie traveled with the bar room bands G Till arthritis took his hands C/G G Now he sells insurance on the side G And Rita's got her house to keep G Dime store novels and a love so sweet C/G G They dance to the radio late at night
[Chorus]
G Am And they’d sing dance a little closer to me G Dance a little closer now Am D Dance a little closer tonight G Am Dance a little closer to me Am Cuz it's closing time and love's on sale D G tonight at this five and dime
