Intro:

AM7         F#m      D9         Dm6  AM7        D9 Bm7-5 AM7  C#7
That little jukebox right over there is like a mag - ic  key,

F#m         Bm7    F#m  B7      D9     Bm7-5       E7
For it can take me anywhere on wings of mem - o - ry.


AM7        C#7           F#7  
I'd give a dollar for a dime --

B7          E7/9      E7    AM7/6   AM7  F#m  D9
I've got to hear that record play again,

                Bm7-5      Dm6  AM7        F#7
Turn love's De - cem - ber into May again,

D9            E7/6       Bm7-5    C#7   F#7  B7  E7
Bring me the thrill just one more time.


AM7        C#7           F#7  
I'd give a dollar for a dime --

B7          E7/9      E7      AM7/6  AM7  F#m  D9
I've got to hear that sweet refrain again,

           Bm7-5      Dm6     AM7        F#7
That carries me down lovers' lane again,

D9            Bm7-5     E7 E7/6  D9    Bm7-5   AM7    
Back when the world was all in  rhyme.



Bridge:

D9         D6/9             DM7     Dm6
Seems that song was written for us;

AM7   F#m     Bm7-5 Dm6  AM7
Ev'ry word and note has charm.

D9       D6/9                 DM7     Dm6
Our two hearts would sing the chorus

AM7   F#7            B7    E7
As I hold you in my arms.


AM7        C#7           F#7  
I'd give a dollar for a dime --

B7         E7/9    E7     AM7/6  AM7  F#m  D9

My aching heart is on my sleeve again,

            Bm7-5    Dm6     AM7         F#7
To close my eyes and make believe again.

D9         E7/6  Bm7-5   F#7
I'd give a dollar for a dime

D9          Bm7-5   Dm6       AM7
To hear that record one more time.
