Subject: CRD: It's Late - Ricky Nelson

     It's Late
     Dorsey Burnette
     Recorded by Ricky Nelson on `Ricky Sings Again', Imperial LP 9061

     Notes: Song is in G#. Capo at the fourth fret and play in E as
     notated.

     Intro: Strum E chord w/lead guitar.

     Verse I:

      E
     It's Late it's late
               A      E
     We gotta get on home
      E
     It's late it's late
              B7       E
     We been gone too long
      E
     Too bad too bad
                 A           E
     We shoulda checked our time
      E
     Can't phone can't phone
              B7
     We done spent every dime

     Verse II:

     It's late it's late
     We're `bout to run outta gas
     It's late it's late
     We gotta get home fast
     Can't speed can't speed
     We're in a slow down zone
            E                      B7          E
     Baby, look at that clock why can't it be wrong

     Chorus/bridge:

            A                     E
     If we coulda left home by a quarter to nine
      B7                 E
     Woulda had fun and plenty of time
      A                    E
     We got started just a little bit late
      F#                 B7
     Hope this won't be our last date

     Verse III:

     Look up look up
     Is that the moon we see?
     Can't be can't be
     Looks like the sun to me
     It's late it's late
     I hate to face your dad
     Too bad too bad
     I know he's gonna be mad

     It's late it's late
     We gotta get on home
     It's late it's late
     We been gone too long

     Instrumental break over verse chords
     Repeat verse II

     If we coulda left home by a quarter to nine
     We woulda had fun and plenty of time
     We got started just a little bit late doo-wop
     Hope this won't be our last date

     Repeat Verse III, stretch out last line w/lead guitar.

     So simple, but Ricky's wide-eyed delivery and his crack band both
     sound great. Do not play the leads with anything but a Telecaster.
