            G

     D/F#                       back to verse riff
but everything's fried here in Memphis..."

   "Man, now they want to know exactly which bathroom..."

"It can't be important " 
 E                        D
"Yeah, sure, I'll tell my story, again "


CHORUS:
   A                     D
"In bar—light, she looked all right
   Bm                  Riff 1
In daylight, she looked desperate
       Am               D     
That's all right, I was desperate, too
    Bm                Riff 2 
I'm getting pretty sick of this interview.
   A          D      Bm             Riff 1
Subpoenaed in Texas, sequestered in Memphis
   A          D      Bm             Riff 2
Subpoenaed in Texas, sequestered in Memphis..."

   "I think she drove a new Mustang ..."

                       G        D/F#  
"Do you think I'm that stupid?" 
 E                            D
"What the hell, I'll tell the story, again "

CHORUS:
   A                     D
"In bar—light, she looked all right
   Bm                  Riff 1

Then it's handclaps for a while.
Then back to chorus.  End on A.
