E                                       E                       Esus4 Esus4
I got something to say little girl, you might not like my style
    E                                           E                       Asus4 Asus4
But we've been hanging around this town, just a little too long a while
    A                                             A                       Esus4 Esus4
You say you're gonna get your act together, gonna take it out on the road
         E                                    E
But if I don't get outta here pretty soon, my head's going to explode
     B7                       B7
Sure I like country music and I like mandolins
          A7
But right now I need a Telecaster through a Vibro-lux turned up to ten

[Chorus]
            E
Let's go to Memphis in the meantime, baby, a-how!
E
Memphis in the meantime, girl

[Verse]
  E                                             E
I need a little shot of that rhythm baby, mixed up with these country blues
        E                                        E
I wanna trade in these old cowboy boots for some fine Italian shoes
   A                                         A
Forget the mousse and the hairspray sugar we don't need none of that
       E                               E
Just a little dab will do ya girl underneath a pork pie hat
  B7                           B7
Until hell freezes over, maybe you can wait that long
      A7
But I don't think Ronnie Millsap's gonna ever record this song

[Chorus]
            E
Let's go to Memphis in the meantime, baby
              E
a-Let's go to Memphis in the meantime, girl
              E
a-Let's go to Memphis in the meantime, baby
            E
Let's go to Memphis in the meantime, girl

[Bridge]
A                                  Asus4  A             Asus4                   E
   Maybe there's nothin' happenin' there, maybe there's somethin' in the air...
A                            Asus4  A                  Asus4         E    B7
   Before our upper lips get stiff, maybe we need us a big ol whiff.

[Verse]
            E                                     E                              Esus4 Esus4
If we could just get off-a that beat little girl, maybe we could find the groove
   E                              E                      Asus4 Asus4
At least we can get a decent meal down at the Rendezvous
       A                                      A                         Esus4 Esus4
'Cause one more heartfelt steel guitar chord, girl, it's gonna do me in
          E                                         E
I need to hear some trumpet and saxophone, you know sound as sweet as sin
          B7                           B7
And after we get good and greasy, baby we can come on home
        A7
Put the cow horns back on the Cadillac and change the message on the Cord-a-phone

[Chorus]
            E
Let's go to Memphis in the meantime, baby
              E
a-Let's go to Memphis in the meantime, girl
            E
Let's go to Memphis in the meantime, baby
            E
Let's go to Memphis in the meantime, girl

[Outro]
                    E         E
I'm a talking about Mem-------phis  a-how, how
