Your Mind Is On Vacation Chords by Mose Allison

_ [Bbm] _ [Eb] You're sitting there yacking right [Bbm] in my face
[Bbm] I guess I'm gonna have [Eb] to put [B] you in your [Eb] place.
[Gb] You know [Ab] if silence was [G] golden
[Ab] You couldn't raise a [Eb] dime _ _ _ _ _
[Fm] Because your [C] mind is on vacation and your mouth [Gm] is working overtime
[Ebm] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Bbm] _ _
You quoting figures [Eb] and dropping [Eb] names
You're telling [Bbm] stories
[Eb] _ about [Bbm] the East
[Eb] _
[Bbm] You're over laughing
[Eb] [Bbm] When things ain't funny
[Eb]
[Bbm] You're trying to sound [Eb] like a [Bbm] big money.
You know [Ebm] if talk was criminal
_ [G] _ [Gb] _ You'd leave a life of crime
[Eb] _
_ _ _ _ _ [Bb] Because your man is on vacation and your mouth [Ebm] is working overtime
[Eb] _ _

[Bbm] Talk is cheap
You'll be making promises that [Eb]
you can't keep
[Db] You don't like this little song I'm [Eb] singing
Just grinning [Db] back
[Eb] _ All I can [Db] say [Eb] is if the shoe fits [Bbm] wet and you [Gb] must keep talking
[G] _ [Ebm] _
Please try to make it [Eb] work
_ _ _ _ [Ebm] _
[Ab] Because your man is on vacation [Ebm] and your mouth is working overtime
[Bbm] _ _ [Eb] _ [Bb] _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
