Ive Been To Memphis by Lyle Lovett
Ive Been To Memphis
Am7-D9-Am7 Am7-D9-Am7
The sun comes up In a coffee cup
Am7 Db9 D9 D#9
Waitress please I've had enough
D9 Am7 D9 Am7
Lord I can't believe what I see How could you be alone
Bm7
When you could sit right here beside me girl
E9
And make yourself at home
I've been to Memphis And Muscle Shoals
And I love a woman What I don't know
When the sun goes down In another town
Bartender please another round
Lord I can't believe what I see How could you be alone
When you could sit right here beside me girl
And make yourself at home
I've been to Houston And San Antonio
And I love a woman What I don't know
Sherry she had big ones Sally had some too
But Allison had little ones that hate to go to school
And I make my bed Where I lay my head
And I wish I heard what she just said
Lord I can't believe what I see How could you be alone
When you could sit right here beside me girl
And make yourself at home
I've been to LA And El Paso
And I love a woman What I don't know
Sherry she had big ones Sally had some too
But Allison had little ones that hate to go to school
And I make my bed Where I lay my head
And I wish I heard what she just said
Lord I can't believe what I see How could you be alone
When you could sit right here beside me girl
And make yourself at home
I've been to... And where I go
I love a woman What I don't know
