Memphis Blues Again Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G]

[Verse 1]
[G]Functionalism's a bore
Modernism's a chore
[F]Bau[G]haus school makes me snore
Why do people adore
[F]Steel tubes [Bb]bent to a frame
All their shit looks the same
Le Corbusier's a shame
Yeah he's mostly to blame
[F]Peter Shire

[Verse 2]
[Bb]built a chair
And he called it Bell Air
Critics said "too much flair"
Peter Shire didn't [F]care
[G]
Minimalism's absurd
To me its just a word
I wished i'd never heard
Don't you know there's [Eb]a third
[F]After [G]function and form
Makes you feel nice and warm
[F]Makes you [G]question the norm
Lets your stray from the swarm
Yes emo[Bb]tion makes three
It makes objects complete
Go ahead take a seat
In Michele de Lucchi
Why should it not have dots?
Why should it not have lots?
Will you tell me why not?

[Verse 3]
Are you [Bb]artists or [F]cops?[Eb][C#]

[Verse 4]
[G]We're stuck [Eb]inside[F#]
[G]The Salon of [Eb]Mobile[Dm]
[D]We're stuck

[Verse 5]
[G]ins[Eb]ide[F#]
With the [G]Memphis blues again

[Verse 6]
[G]Ettore is my name
Furniture is my game
Thinking frees has been my claim
[Eb]Since [F]1917
Sym[G]metry is the past
I prefer the contrast
[F]Critics [G]said that it clashed
Time will tell who outlast[Eb]s
[F]Picture [Bb]this on your wall
It's not meant to appall
Yeah that chair has got a ball
It's about eight feet tall
[Ab]No need to[Bb] be a grouch

[Verse 7]
Have [Bb]a seat on my couch
Makes it easy to slouch
With the arms pointing out
[F]This lamp

[Verse 8]
[G]looks like a bird
Yeah its kind of absurd
[Eb]No y[F]ou haven[G]'t misheard
This lamp looks like a [Eb]bird
[F]Don't con[G]fuse what i meant
No malicious intent
[F]I'm just [G]trying to invent
Press this key to indent
[Eb]On m[F]y typi[Bb]ng machine
It's called the valentine
Comes in blue, red and green
Thank you much Perry [F#]King
[Ab]Why should

[Verse 9]
[Bb]it not have stripes
There's a few different types
Up and down side to side
Must it be made of pipes
[F]

[Verse 10]
[Eb][C#]
[G]We're stuck [Eb]inside[F#]
[G]The Salon of [Eb]Mobile[Dm]
[D]We'[G]re stuck ins[Eb]ide[F#]
With the [G]Memphis blues
[Eb]again[C#]
[G]We're stuck [Eb]inside[F#]
[G]The Salon of [Eb]Mobile[D]
[G]We're stuck [Eb]inside[F#]
With [G]the Memphis blues [G]again
