RECORD LADY by Lyle Lovett
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
A D
Get your head back in line
B7 C
You need to get out on your own boy
B7 C
This hanging around here's got to stop
D# D
Get out on your own boy
D# D
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
G C
Record Lady
A
She's got the cutest little cartridge
D
That you've ever seen
D# D
She's a phonographic dream
I didn't waste no time about it
I put on my coat and shoes
I packed up my old rocking chair
And I left them hell on Church Street blues
And I went down to the record shop
What else could I do
She was five foot one and three quarters
Lord she claimed she was five foot two
And she looked at me with her big green eyes
And she said can I help you find something
I said what you got on special
Record Lady
Record Lady
She's got the cutest little cartridge
That you've ever seen
She's a phonographic dream
Acting very safisticated
I began to browse around
I walked up to the Record Lady
And I said I sure do like what I have found
It would be so beautiful
Please come away with me
We could run down to Istanbul
Or maybe even Gay Paris
And she looked at me with her big green eyes
She said can I help you find something
I said what you got on special
Record Lady
Record Lady
She's got the cutest little cartridge
That you've ever seen
She's a phonographic dream
A phonographic dream
One day you know I will see
My phonographic fantasy
In sweet fulfillment to the last detail
Down in Acapulco
Or even somewhere else
Just her and me together
The whole day long
Her and me together
Playing them records all night long
She's the Record Lady
Record Lady
Record Lady at the record shop
Set it spinning mama
Don't never stop my
Record Lady
Record Lady

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official LYLE LOVETT tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
