He'll Have to Go ( 3/4 time )
By Jim Reeves
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
He'll have to go
D7 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 G7
you're with another man
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 a lone
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
