74. DEAR HEARTS AND GENTLE PEOPLE 1949

Jim Reeves, Bing Crosby

 

{ CHORUS }
              C   C7        F     C
I love those dear hearts and gentle people
                     G   G7
Who live in my home town
              C   C7        F     Fm
Because those dear hearts and gentle people
     C         G7    C
Will never ever let you down.
              C   C7        F        C
They read the good book from Fri- 'til Monday
                        G    G7
That's how the weekend goes
            C     C7         F          Fm
I've got a dream  house, I'll build there one day
      C          G7           C
With picket fence and ramblin' rose.
 
[Verse]
           F           C
I feel so welcome each time that I return

         Am                  D7             G    G7
That my happy heart keeps laughin' like a clown
              C   C7        F     Fm
I love those dear hearts and gentle people
     C               G7    C
Who live and love in my hometown. 
 
[Bridge]
          Dm
There's a place I'd like to go
         C
And it's up in Idaho
              Dm                              C
Where you're friendly neighbors smile and say hello
       Dm
Such a pleasure and a treat
      C
To meander down the street
       D                                   G7
That's why I want the whole wide world to know
 
{ CHORUS }
              C   C7        F     C
I love those dear hearts and gentle people
                     G   G7
Who live in my home town
              C   C7        F     Fm
Because those dear hearts and gentle people
     C         G7    C
Will never ever let you down.
              C   C7        F        C
They read the good book from Fri- 'til Monday
                        G    G7
That's how the weekend goes
            C     C7         F          Fm
I've got a dream  house, I'll build there one day
      C          G7           C
With picket fence and ramblin' rose.
 
[Verse]
           F           C
I feel so welcome each time that I return
         Am                  D7             G    G7
That my happy heart keeps laughin' like a clown
              C   C7        F     Fm
I love those dear hearts and gentle people
     C               G7    C
Who live and love in my hometown.
