Lyle Lovett – Record Lady (Guitar)

G               C
Robert Earl this friend of mine

             G                     C
You know he's always looking after my best interest

           G                    C
He told me: Lyle P. you need to get some action

A7            D7
Get your head back in line

            B7             C7
You need to get out on your own, boy

     B7                    C7
This hanging around here's got to stop

Eb7             D7
Get out on your own, boy

    Eb7                       D7
And take a little trip to the record shop

 G
I said: The record shop?

             C
But, Robert, I don't need no records

G                     C
He just smiled and he said what you need is a

G            C
Record lady (record lady)

G            C
Record lady (record lady)

              A7
She's got the cutest little cartridge

     D7
That you've ever seen

        Eb7          D7
She's a phonographic dream

G                 C
I didn't waste no time about it

  G                  C
I put on my coat and shoes

  G                C
I packed up my old rocking chair

      A7                D7
And I left them hell on Church Street blues

      B7               C7
And I went down to the record shop

B7                C7
What else could I do?

        Eb7               D7
She was five-foot-one and three-quarters

Eb7                       D7
But Lord, she claimed she five-foot-two

         G                     C
Well she looked at me with her big green eyes

    G                         C
She said: Can I help you find something?

                        G
I said: What you got on special?

G            C
Record lady (record lady)

G            C
Record lady (record lady)

              A7
She's got the cutest little cartridge

     D7
That you've ever seen

        Eb7          D7
She's a phonographic dream

G             C
Acting very sophisticated

  G                C
I began to browse around

  G                C
I walked up to the record lady

              A7                D7
And I said: I sure do like what I have found

B7             C7
It would be so beautiful

B7                     C7
Please, come away with me

Eb7                  D7
We could run down to Istanbul

Eb7           D7
Or maybe even gay Paree

         G                     C
Well she looked at me with her big green eyes

    G                         C
She said: Can I help you find something?

                        G
I said: What you got on special?

G            C

That you've ever seen

        Eb7          D7
She's a phonographic dream

Eb7            D7
A phonographic dream

G                C
One day you know I will see

   G            C
My phonographic fantasy

G                           C
In sweet fulfillment to the last detail

        A7               D7
Down in Acapulco or even somewhere else

B7                C7
Just her and me together

B7            C7
The whole day long

Eb7          D7
Her and me together

Eb7                  D7
Playing them records all night long

          G            C
She's the record lady (record lady)
