G G D7 G G
[Verse 1]
G Once a week he’d come into the nightclub C G And he’d walk across the dance floor to a table just for two G You could see that he was lonelier than lonely A7 D D7 And he could write a book on being blue
[Verse 2]
G Well he’d order up a single for his baby (baby) C G Then order up a double just for him G Well he drank a lot but he paid real good for love songs (love songs) C D G And the band just called him - Twenty Dollar Jim
[Verse 3]
G About five years ago he lost his baby (baby) C G He never said just why or where she went G But the way he mixed his whiskey with his memories (memories) A7 D And left him with his mind about half bent
[Verse 4]
G The band could see him going through the motions C G A-talking to someone who’d gone away G With eyes so sad and his voice choked with emotion C D G He’d stagger to the bandstand and he’d say
[Chorus]
G C Singer! - won’t you sing me back to baby G D Help me make it through this crazy world of mine G C Here’s a twenty - for a love song for my baby G D G Singer! - won’t you sing me back to baby one more time

[Verse 6]
