Biography:
John Hiatt (born on August 20, 1952 in Indianapolis, Indiana, U.S.) is an American blues and rock guitarist, pianist, and singer-songwriter. He has been nominated for eleven Grammy Awards. Hiatt's sales have never quite matched his reputation. His songs have been covered by a wide variety of artists such as Bonnie Raitt, Ronnie Milsap, Willie Nelson, Iggy Pop, Three Dog Night, and The Neville Brothers, yet it took him thirteen years to reach the charts himself.

[Verse]
E E
I got something to say little girl, you might not like my style
E E
But we've been hanging around this town, just a little too long a while
A A
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
A D/A A7 D/A
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
A D/A A7 D/A
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 D/A A7 D/A A E
Maybe there's nothin' happenin' there, maybe there's somethin' in the air
A D/A A7 D/A A E B7
Before our upper lips get stiff, maybe we need us a big ol whiff
[Verse]
E E
If we could just get off-a that beat little girl, maybe we could find the groove
E E
At least we can get a decent meal down at the Rendezvous
A A
'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
A D/A A7 D/A
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
