Memphis In The Meantime

E                                 
I got something to say little 
      E                       
girl, you might not like my 
Esus4 Esus4
style
    E                              
But we've been hanging around this 
             E                     
town, just a little too long a 
  Asus4 Asus4
while
    A                            
You say you're gonna get your act 
                 A                 
together, gonna take it out on the 
      Esus4 Esus4
road
         E                         
But if I don't get outta here 
           E
pretty soon, my head's going to 
explode
     B7                       B7
Sure I like country music and I like
 mandolins
          A7
But right now I need a Telecaster 
through a Vibro-lux turned up to ten

[Chorus]
            E
Let's go to Memphis in the meantime,
 baby, a-how!
E
Memphis in the meantime, girl

[Verse]
  E                                
I need a little shot of that rhythm
             E
 baby, mixed up with these country 
blues
        E                        
I wanna trade in these old cowboy 
                E
boots for some fine Italian shoes
   A                               
Forget the mousse and the hairspray
          A
 sugar we don't need none of that
Continues after the ad
       E                         
Just a little dab will do ya girl 
      E
underneath a pork pie hat
  B7                           B7
Until hell freezes over, maybe you 
can wait that long
      A7
But I don't think Ronnie Millsap's 
gonna ever record this song

[Chorus]
            E
Let's go to Memphis in the meantime,
 baby
              E
a-Let's go to Memphis in the 
meantime, girl
              E
a-Let's go to Memphis in the 
meantime, baby
            E
Let's go to Memphis in the meantime,
 girl

[Bridge]
A                                  
   Maybe there's nothin' happenin' 
Asus4  A             Asus4      
there, maybe there's somethin' 
             E
in the air...
A                            
   Before our upper lips get 
Asus4  A                  Asus4 
stiff, maybe we need us a big ol
        E    B7
 whiff.

[Verse]
            E                      
If we could just get off-a that 
               E                
beat little girl, maybe we could 
              Esus4 Esus4
find the groove
   E                              
At least we can get a decent meal 
E                      Asus4 Asus4
down at the Rendezvous
       A                       
'Cause one more heartfelt steel 
               A                   
guitar chord, girl, it's gonna do 
      Esus4 Esus4
me in
          E                    
I need to hear some trumpet and 
                     E
saxophone, you know sound as sweet 
as sin
          B7                     
And after we get good and greasy, 
      B7
baby we can come on home
        A7
Put the cow horns back on the 
Cadillac and change the message on 
the Cord-a-phone

[Chorus]
            E
Let's go to Memphis in the meantime,
 baby
              E
a-Let's go to Memphis in the 
meantime, girl
            E
Let's go to Memphis in the meantime,
 baby
            E
Let's go to Memphis in the meantime,
 girl

                    E         E
