[Intro 1]
[D][D][G][G]

[Verse 1]
[D]You can marry an architect
Build you a house out on the [G]water
That really impresses your father, yeah
[D]And you can find some grown up friends
Drink some wine in Cali[G]fornia
But even if you cut it shorter

[Pre-chorus 1]
You'll always have [D]long blond hair
You'll always be Memphis queen
You'll always be [G]my first time in New Orleans

[Chorus 1]
No [D]matter where I go, no matter what I do
I'll [G]never be twenty-three with anyone but you
You can [D]marry who you want
Go back to Tennessee
But you'll [G]never be twenty-three
with anyone but me
We'll always have [D]Folly beach
We'll always have Delta nights
We'll always be [G]in-between

[Verse 2]
real love and real life
[D]You can ride the train to work
Straighten out your accent in the [G]city
Like your folks ain't from Mississippi, yeah
[D]You probably got an office view
Wearing those skirts you always [G]hated
Yeah, you're so sophisticated

[Pre-chorus 2]
But I bet you when you [D]drink too much
I bet you think 'bout back when
I really hope you're [G]happy now
I'm really glad I knew you then

[Chorus 2]
No [D]matter where I go, no matter what I do
I'll [G]never be twenty-three with anyone but you
You can [D]marry who you want
Go back to Tennessee
But you'll [G]never be twenty-three
with anyone but me
We'll always have [D]Folly beach
We'll always have Delta nights
We'll always be [G]in-between

[Solo 1]
real love and real life
[D][D][G][G]

[Bridge 1]
You'll [D]always have your first last name
Standing in that July rain
[G]Telling me your mind is changed
But in my mind you're still the same
[D]Long blond hair
You'll always be Memphis queen
You'll always be [G]my first time (my first time)
in New Orleans

[Chorus 3]
No [D]matter where I go, no matter what I do
I'll [G]never be twenty-three with anyone but you
You can [D]marry who you want
Go back to Tennessee
But you'll [G]never be twenty-three
with anyone but me
