Record Lady Lyle Lovett
(Intro)
[G] [C] [G] [C] [A7] [D7] [Eb7] [D7]
[G]Robert Earl this[C] friend of mine
You know he's[G] always looking after [C]my best interest
He told me:[G] Lyle P. you need to [C]get some action
[A7]Get your head [D7]back in line
You need to [B7]get out on your[C7] own, boy
This [B7]hanging around here's [C7]got to stop
[Eb7]Get out on your [D7]own, boy
And [Eb7]take a little trip to the [D7]record shop
I[G] said: The record shop?
But, Robert, [C]I don't need no records
[G]He just smiled and he [C]said what you need is a
[G]Record lady ([C]record lady)
[G]Record lady ([C]record lady)
She's got the [A7]cutest little cartridge
That [D7]you've ever seen
She's a [Eb7]phonographic [D7]dream
[G]I didn't waste no [C]time about it
I [G]put on my coat and [C]shoes
I [G]packed up my old [C]rocking chair
And I [A7]left them hell on [D7]Church Street blues
And I [B7]went down to the [C7]record shop
[B7]What else could I [C7]do?
She was [Eb7]five-foot-one and [D7]three-quarters
[Eb7]But Lord, she claimed she [D7]five-foot-two
Well she [G]looked at me with her [C]big green eyes
She [G]said: Can I help you find [C]something?
I said: What you got on [G]special?
[G]Record lady ([C]record lady)
[G]Record lady ([C]record lady)
She's got the [A7]cutest little cartridge
That [D7]you've ever seen
She's a [Eb7]phonographic [D7]dream
[G]Acting very so[C]phisticated
I [G]began to browse a[C]round
I [G]walked up to the [C]record lady
And I said: I [A7]sure do like what [D7]I have found
[B7]It would be so [C7]beautiful
[B7]Please, come away with [C7]me
[Eb7]We could run down to [D7]Istanbul
[Eb7]Or maybe even [D7]gay Paree
Well she [G]looked at me with her [C]big green eyes
She [G]said: Can I help you find [C]something?
I said: What you got on [G]special?
[G]Record lady ([C]record lady)
[G]Record lady ([C]record lady)
She's got the [A7]cutest little cartridge
That [D7]you've ever seen
She's a [Eb7]phonographic [D7]dream
[Eb7]A phonographic [D7]dream
[G]One day you know [C]I will see
My [G]phonographic [C]fantasy
[G]In sweet fulfillment to the [C]last detail
Down in [A7]Acapulco or even [D7]somewhere else
[B7]Just her and me to[C7]gether
[B7]The whole day [C7]long
[Eb7]Her and me to[D7]gether
[Eb7]Playing them records [D7]all night long
She's the [G]record lady ([C]record lady)
[G]Record lady ([C]record lady)
[G]Record lady ([C]record lady)
[G]She set 'er spinning mama ([C]record lady)
Don't ever stop
[G]Record lady ([C]record lady)
[G]Record lady ([C]record lady)
[A7]Ooooh [D7]Ooooh [Eb7]Ooooh [D7]Ooooh
[Eb7]Ooooh [D7]Ooooh
[F#7] [G7]
