Mame

You (C6)coax the (Cmaj7)blues right out of the (Dm7)horn,

(G7)Mame,

(Dm)you charm the (Dm7)husk right off of the (Cmaj7)(C6)corn,

(Cmaj7)Mame;

(Am)you've got the (Am7)banjos strummin' and (Em)plunkin' out a tune to beat the (A9)band,

(Dm)the whole (Dm7)plantation's hummin' since (C)you brought Dixie (C#dim)back to (Dm7)(G7)Dixieland.

(C)You (C6)make the (Cmaj7)cotton easy to (Dm7)pick,

(G7)Mame,

(Dm)you give my (Dm7)old mint julep a (E7)kick,

Mame.

(Am)You make the (Am7)old magnolia tree (Em)blossom at the mention of your (A9)name,

(Dm)you've made us (Dm7)feel alive (G7)again,

(Em)you've (Em7)given (A9)us the drive again,

(D7)to make the (Dm7)South revive again,

(C)Mame.

(C)You've (C6)brought the (Cmaj7)cakewalk back into (Dm7)style,

(G7)Mame,

(Dm)you make the (Dm7)weepin' willow tree (Cmaj7)(C6)smile,

(Cmaj7)Mame;

(Am)your skin is (Am7)Dixie satin, there's (Em)rebel in your manner and your (A9)speech,

(Dm)you may be (Dm7)from Manhattan, but (C)Georgia never (C#dim)had a sweeter (Dm7)(G7)peach.

(C)You (C6)make our (Cmaj7)blackeyed peas and our (Dm7)grits,

(G7)Mame,

(Dm)seem like the (Dm7)bill of fare at the (E7)Ritz,

Mame.

(Am)You came, you (Am7)saw, you conquered and (Em)absolutely nothing is the (A9)same,

(Dm)your special (Dm7)(G7)fascination'll (Em)prove to (Em7)be (A9)inspirational,

(D7)we think you're (Dm7)just sensational, (C)Mame.

(C)Mame.
