Rolling Stones - Memo From Turner

A A7 D7
Didn`t I see you down in San Antone on a hot and dusty night?
A
You were eating eggs in Sammy`s when
D7
the black man there drew his knife.
A A
Or you drowned that Jew in Rampton as
D7
he washed his sleevless shirt.
D7
You know that Spanish speaking gentleman,
A
the one that we call Kurt.

Bm G A

C#m Bm D A
Come now, gentleman, I know there`s some mistake
C#m Bm
How forgetful I`m becoming now you
D A
fixed your business straight

A D7 A
I remember you in Hemlock Road in nineteen fifty six
A
You were a faggy little leather boy
D7 A
with a smaller piece of stick
A
You were a lashing smashing hunk of a man,
D A
your sweat shined sweet and strong
D7 A Bm
Your organ`s working perfectly, but there`s a part
G E7
that`s not screwed on

A E7 A E A E7 A E

A
Weren`t you at the Coke Convention back
D A
in nineteen sixty five

You`re the misbred grey executive
I`ve seen heavily advertised
A
You`re the great grey man whose daughter
D A
licks policemen`s buttons clean
D A
You`re the man who squats behind the man
Bm G A
who works the soft machine
C#m Bm D A
Come now, gentlemen, your love is all I crave
C#m Bm D
You`ll still be in the circus when I`m laughing,
A
laughing in my grave

A D7 A
Well remember who you say you are but keep your noses clean
A
Boys will be boys and play with toys.
D A
So be strong with your beast
A
Oh Rosie dear, don`cha think it`s queer.
D A
So stop me if you please
D7 A
The baby`s dead, my lady said.
Bm G A
You gentlemen will you all work for me

A
When the old men do all the fighting
D7 A
and the young men all look on
A
And the young girls eat their mother`s
D A
meat from tubes of plasticon
A
Be wary of these my gentle friends
D A
of all the skin you breed
D7 A
To have that tasty habit,
Bm G A
it`s not the hands that bleed
