He'll Have to Go 
Recorded by Jim Reeves
Written by Joe Allison and Audrey Allison 
[3/4 time]

G                            C             G
Put your sweet lips a little closer to the phone
                                      D7
Lets pretend that we're together all alone
              G               G7                C
I'll tell the man to turn the juke-box way down low
            G                     D7
And you can tell you friend there with you
              G  D7
He'll have to go
 
        G             C              G
Whisper to me tell me do you love me true
                               D7
Or is he holding you the way I do
             G                  G7               C
Tho' love is blind make up your mind I've got to know
         G                   D7
Should I hang up or will you tell him
              G   G7
He'll have to go
 
          C
You can't say the words I want to hear while 
       G            
You're with another man
       C 
If you want me answer yes or no
        G           D7
Darling I will understand
 
         G                   C             G
Put your sweet lips a little closer to the phone
                                       D7
Let's pretend that we're together all alone
              G               G7                C
I'll tell the man to turn the juke-box way down low
            G                      D7
And you can tell your friend there with you
              G
He'll have to go
