Intro:  E5  {twice} 
 
E5 
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 
    A5                         D5  
You say you're gonna get your act together 
      A5
Gonna take it out on the road 
                  E5
But if I dont get outta here pretty soon 

My head's going to explode 
     B5
Sure I like country music 

I like mandolins 
          A5                D5
But right now I need a telecaster 
               A5
Through a vibrolux turned up to ten 
           E5
Lets go to Memphis in the meantime baby 

Memphis in the meantime girl 
  E5
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 
   A5                      D5
Forget the mousse and the hairspray sugar 
   A5
We dont need none of that 
       E5
Just a little dab'll do ya girl 

Underneath a pork pie hat 
  B5
Until hell freezes over 

Maybe you can wait that long 
      A5                 D5              A5
But I dont think Ronnie Milsap's gonna ever 

Record this song 
           E5
Lets go to Memphis in the meantime baby 

Memphis in the meantime girl 
           E5
Lets go to Memphis in the meantime baby 

Memphis in the meantime girl 
A5             D5                 A5
Maybe there's nothin' happenin' there 
              D5                A5   E5
Maybe there's somethin' in the air  
A5          D5              A5
Before our upper lips get stiff 
         D5                A5     E5
Maybe we need us a big ol whiff  
            E5
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 
      A5                  D5
Cause one more heartfelt steel guitar chord 
A5
Girl, it's gonna do me in 
          E5
I need to hear some trumpet and saxophone 

You know sound as sweet as sin 
          B5
And after we get good and greasy 

Baby we can come back home 
        A5                    D5
Put the cowhorns back on the cadillac 
               A5
And change the message on the cord-a-phone 
           E5
Lets go to Memphis in the meantime baby 

Memphis in the meantime girl 
           E5
Lets go to Memphis in the meantime baby 

Memphis in the meantime girl 
           E5
Lets go to Memphis in the meantime baby 

Memphis in the meantime girl 
 
Repeat and fade...
