Intro:  E  {twice} 
 
E 
I got something to say little girl 

You might not like my style 

But we've been hanging around this town 

Just a little too long a while 
    A                         D  
You say you're gonna get your act together 
      A
Gonna take it out on the road 
                  E
But if I dont get outta here pretty soon 

My head's going to explode 
     B
Sure I like country music 

I like mandolins 
          A                D
But right now I need a telecaster 
               A
Through a vibrolux turned up to ten 
           E
Lets go to Memphis in the meantime baby 

Memphis in the meantime girl 
  E
I need a little shot of that rhythm baby 

Mixed up with these country blues 

I wanna trade in these ol cowboy boots 

For some fine italian shoes 
   A                      D
Forget the mousse and the hairspray sugar 
   A
We dont need none of that 
       E
Just a little dab'll do ya girl 

Underneath a pork pie hat 
  B
Until hell freezes over 

Maybe you can wait that long 
      A                 D              A
But I dont think Ronnie Milsap's gonna ever 

Record this song 
           E
Lets go to Memphis in the meantime baby 

Memphis in the meantime girl 
           E
Lets go to Memphis in the meantime baby 

Memphis in the meantime girl 
A             D                 A
Maybe there's nothin' happenin' there 
              D                A   E
Maybe there's somethin' in the air  
A          D              A
Before our upper lips get stiff 
         D                A     E
Maybe we need us a big ol whiff  
            E
If we could just get off-a that beat little girl 

Maybe we could find the groove 

At least we can get a decent meal 

Down at the Rendez-vous 
      A                  D
Cause one more heartfelt steel guitar chord 
A
Girl, it's gonna do me in 
          E
I need to hear some trumpet and saxophone 

You know sound as sweet as sin 
          B
And after we get good and greasy 

Baby we can come back home 
        A                    D
Put the cowhorns back on the cadillac 
               A
And change the message on the cord-a-phone 
           E
Lets go to Memphis in the meantime baby 

Memphis in the meantime girl 
           E
Lets go to Memphis in the meantime baby 

Memphis in the meantime girl 
           E
Lets go to Memphis in the meantime baby 

Memphis in the meantime girl 
 
Repeat and fade...
