Memphis In The Meantime Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][D][G][D][D][G]
[D][D][G][D][D]

[Verse 1]
[D]I got something to say, little girl
You might not like my [G]style
But we've been hanging around this town
Just a little too long a while
You [G]say you're gonna get your act together
Gonna take it out on the road
But if I [D]don't get outta here pretty soon
My head's going to explode

[Pre-chorus 1]
Sure, [A]I like country music and I like mandolins
But right [G]now I need a Telecaster
Through a Vibrolux turned up to [C]ten

[Chorus 1]
Let's go to [D]Memphis in the meantime, baby
Memphis in the meantime, girl

[Verse 2]
I [D]need a little shot of that rhythm, baby
Mixed up with these country blues
I want to trade in these ol' cowboy boots
For some fine Italian shoes
For[G]get the mousse and the hairspray, sugar
We don't need none of that
Oh, a [D]little dab'll do ya, girl
Underneath a pork pie hat

[Pre-chorus 2]
Un[G]til hell freezes over
Maybe you can wait that long
But I [G]don't think Ronnie Milsap's
gonna ever record this [C]song

[Chorus 2]
Let's go to [D]Memphis in the meantime, baby
Let's go to Memphis in the meantime, girl
Let's go to Memphis in the meantime, baby

[Bridge 1]
Let's go to Memphis in the meantime, girl
[G]Maybe there's nothin' happenin' there
Maybe there's somethin' in the [D]air
[G]Before our upper lips get stiff
Maybe we need us a big ol' [D]whiff[A]

[Verse 3]
If we could [D]just get off-a that beat, little girl
Maybe we could find the [G]groove
At least we can get ourselves a decent meal
Down at the Rendez-vous
'Cause [G]one more heartfelt steel guitar chord
Girl, that's gonna do me in
I need to [D]hear some trumpet and saxophone
You know sound as sweet as sin

[Pre-chorus 3]
And after [A]we get good and greasy
Baby, we can come on home
Put the [G]cowhorns back on the Cadillac
And change the message
on the cord-a-phone

[Chorus 3]
Let's go to [D]Memphis in the meantime, baby
Let's go to Memphis in the meantime, girl
Let's go to Memphis in the meantime, baby
Let's go to Memphis in the meantime, girl

[Outro 1]
I'm only talkin' 'about [D]Mem-phis[D][D][D]
[D][D][D][D]
[Repeat and fade]
