I've Been To Memphis - Lyle Lovett
Am7-D9-            Am7  Am7-D9- Am7  
The sun comes up In a coffee cup
Am7Waitress Db9please I've D9had eD#9nough
D9Lord I can't believe what Am7I see D9How could you be Am7alone
When you could Bm7sit right here beside me girl
And E9make yourself at home
<Chords are the same for the rest of the song, here are the lyrics...>
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

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
