    If I Didn't Have A Dime

  • Artist:

    Gene Pitney

Intro:  A5  D5  A5  D5 (fingerpicking) 
 
     A5          
If I didn't have a dime,and I didn't take the time 
            D5 
To play the juke box 
         A5                        
Whoa-o-o Saturday night would have been a 
E5                        A5 
sad and lonely night for me 
 
And if you weren't standing there  

Ruby lips and golden hair, beside the juke box 

Whoa-o-o I'd have lost my chance to  
E5                              A5  E5   A5                           
Hold you while you danced with me,umm hum 
 

                  E5 
While the records turned and turned 
                           A5                      A5 
We danced and learned, our hearts had yearned for this 
E5 
Neath the moon we walked and walked and 
                    A5         E5  G#5 E5 
talked of love, and then...we kiiiissed  
 
Now with every sweet caress                 
Oh my darlin' have I blessed that little juke box 
Whoa-o-o love songs that they sing 
Wouldn't mean a single thing 
 
Even though you're standing there 
Ruby lips and golden hair 
If I didn't have a dime and I didn't 
Take the time...to play the juke box 
 
(humming verse and fade)
