The Hold Steady Sequestered in Memphis Lyrics

SEQUESTERED IN MEMPHIS - The Hold Steady
Intro/Chorus:
A D Bm Riff 1 A D Bm Riff 2
Verse:
"It started when we were dancing..."
"She said I know I look tired
D/F# back to verse riff
but everything's fried here in Memphis..."
Break between Verses:
"Man, now they want to know exactly which bathroom..."
"It can't be important?"
"Yeah, sure, I'll tell my story, again?"
CHORUS:
"In bar-light, she looked all right
Bm Riff 1
In daylight, she looked desperate
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..."
Break after Chorus:
"I think she drove a new Mustang ..."
"Do you think I'm that stupid?"
"What the hell, I'll tell the story, again?"
CHORUS:
"In bar-light, she looked all right
Bm Riff 1
In daylight, she looked desperate
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..."
Then it's handclaps for a while.
Then back to chorus. End on A.
