Five Short Minutes chords by Jim Croce

Chords with lyrics

Verse 1
A augmentedA
Well she was standing by my dressing room
After the show asking for my autograph and
A7A7                D7D7
asked if she could go back to my motel room
               A augmentedA
But the rest is just a tragic tale
    E MajorE
Because five short minutes of love
       D7D7          A augmentedA
Will cost me twenty long years in jail
Verse 2
      A augmentedA
Well like a fool in a hurry I took her to my room
                 A7A7
She casted me in plaster while I sang her a tune
      D7D7             A augmentedA
Then I said ooh ooee sure was a tragic tale
    E MajorE
Because five short minutes of lovin’
        D7D7          A augmentedA
Done brought me twenty long years in jail
Verse 3
      A augmentedA
Well then a judge and a jury sat me in a room
They say that robbin’ the cradle
       A7A7
Is worse than robbin’ the tomb
      D7D7             A augmentedA
Then I said ooh ooee sure was a tragic tale
(wasn’t worth it, wasn’t worth it)
    E MajorE
Because five short minutes of love
       D7D7          A augmentedA
Will cost me twenty long years in jail
Verse 4
    A augmentedA
When I get out of this prison gonna be forty five
I’ll know that I used to like to do it
   A7A7
But I won’t remember why
     D7D7             A augmentedA
I’ll say ooh ooee sure was a tragic tale
(wasn’t worth it, wasn’t worth it)
    E MajorE
Because five short minutes of love
       D7D7          A augmentedA
Will cost me twenty long years in jail
    E MajorE
Because five short minutes of love
       D7D7          A augmentedA
