John Hiatt - Memphis in the meantime

^EI got something to say little girl, you ^Emight not like my style But ^Ewe've been hanging around this town, just a ^Elittle too long a while You ^Asay you're gonna get your act together, gonna ^Atake it out on the road But if I ^Edon’t get outta here pretty soon, my ^Ehead's going to explode Sure ^B7I like country music and ^B7I like mandolins But right ^Anow I need a Tele^D/Acaster through a Vibro-^A7lux turned up to ^D/Aten

Let’s go to ^EMemphis in the meantime, baby, a-how! ^EMemphis in the meantime, girl

I ^Eneed a little shot of that rhythm baby, mixed ^Eup with these country blues I wanna ^Etrade in these old cowboy boots for some ^Efine Italian shoes For^Aget the mousse and the hairspray sugar we ^Adon’t need none of that Just a ^Elittle dab will do ya girl under^Eneath a pork pie hat Un^B7til hell freezes over, maybe ^B7you can wait that long But I ^Adon’t think Ronnie ^D/AMillsap’s gonna ^A7ever record this ^D/Asong

^A Maybe there's ^D/Anothin' happenin' ^A7there, maybe there's ^D/Asomethin' in the ^Aair ^{E A} Before our ^D/Aupper lips get ^A7stiff, maybe we need ^D/Aus a big ol whiff^{A E B7}

If we could ^Ejust get off-a that beat little girl, ^Emaybe we could find the groove At ^Eleast we can get a decent meal ^Edown at the Rendezvous 'Cause ^Aone more heartfelt steel guitar chord, ^Agirl, it's gonna do me in I need to ^Ehear some trumpet and saxophone, you know ^Esound as sweet as sin And after ^B7we get good and greasy, baby ^B7we can come on home Put the ^Acow horns back on the ^D/ACadillac and change the ^A7message on the Cord-a-^D/Aphone
