D
I've got
something to say little girl,
G
D
you might not like my style
G
D
We've been hanging around this town
just a little too long a while
G
You say you're gonna get
your act together,
gonna take it out on the road
D
But if I don't get out of here pretty soon,
my head's going to explode
A
Boy, I like country music,
and I do like mandolins
G
But right now I need a Telecaster
with the volume ticked up to 10
D

Let's go to Memphis in the meantime,
baby

A
D
I need a little shot of that river, baby
Mixed up with the country blues
I'm gonna trade in these
old cowboy boots
For some fine Italian shoes
G
Forget about the moose
and the house -play
Sure that we don't need
none of that
D
There's a little dab we're gonna do,
yeah, girl
Underneath the pork pie hat
A
Until hell freezes over
Maybe we can't wait that long
G
I wonder now if Elvis would
have ever cut this song
D
Let's go to Memphis in the meantime,
baby
G

Memphis in the meantime, girl
Go to Memphis in the meantime,
G
D

D
G
D
Memphis in the meantime, girl
G
Maybe there's nothin'
happenin' there
D
Maybe there's somethin' in the air
G
Before our upper lip gets still
Maybe we need a big ol' whiff of
D
A
Oh -oh -oh -oh -oh -oh
D
G
Ooh, we can get on for the beat, little girl
D
Maybe we can find a groove
A
D
Or at least we can get
A
D
ourselves a decent meal
Now I'm down at the rendezvous
G
For one more hop, there's still guitar
For a girl gonna do me in
D
I need to hear some trumpet
and saxophone
You know it sounds as sweet as sin
A
And after we get good and greasy,
baby, we can come on home
G
And put the cow horn back on the Cadillac
And change the message
on the telephone
Hello
D
G
D
Then go to Memphis in the meantime,
baby

Go to Memphis in the meantime, baby

come on

Let's go to Memphis
