                  The Sins of Memphisto - John Prine
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Dave S. 
Email: Dlgibson@netscape.com
Tuning: Standard
Artist: John Prine
Album: Anthology Disc 2
Year: 1993
Intro:
C
Chorus:
         F
From the bells of St Mary
       C
To the Count of Monte Cristo
G
Nothing can stop, nothing can stop
                    F          C
Nothin can stop the sins of Memphisto
G
Sally used to play with her hula hoops
F
Now she tells her problems to therapy groups
G
Grampa's on the front lawn staring at a rake
F
Wondering if his marriage was a terrible mistake
G
I'm sitting on the front steps drinking orange crush
F
Wondering if it's possible if I could still blush
   C
Uh huh  Oh yeah
G
Boy on a bike with corduroy slacks
F
Sleeps in the river by the railroad tracks
G
He waits for the whistle on the train to scream
F
So he can close his eyes and begin to dream
   C
Uh huh  Oh yeah
(Repeat Chorus)
G
The hands on his watch spin slowly around
         F
With his mind on a bus that goes all over town
G
Looking at the babies and the factories
F
Listening to the music of Mister Squeeze
G
As if by magic or remote control
   F
He finds a piece of a puzzle that he missed in his soul
   C
Uh huh  Oh yeah
(Repeat Chorus)
G
Adam and Eve and Lucy and Ricky
F
Bit the big apple and got a little sticky
G
Esmeralda and the Hunchback of Notre Dame
F
They humped each other like they had no shame
G
They paused as they posed for a Polaroid photo
F
She whispered in his ear Exactly Odo,  Quasimoto
(Repeat Chorus)
G
Sally used to play with her hula hoops
F
Now she tells her problems to therapy groups
   C
Uh huh  Oh yeah
