Anywhere But Memphis Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][F#m][D][G][A][D][A][G][A]
[D]

[Verse 1]
Called her [F#m]from a
pay phone down on Beale [G]Street[A]
On my way to Birm[G]ingham
[D]Sai[Asus4]d she was[A] ti[D]red[F#m]
of never see[G]in' me
[Em]She needed more than a guitar man[Asus4][A]
As the [Bm]lonesome notes [A]filled
[G]the midnight [C]sky
I wipe my [G]tears and wish that
[Asus4]I was
[A]

[Verse 2]
[D]
Anywhere but Mem[G]phis
Any oth[A]er place [F#]would have
made a dif[Bm]ference
[A]The way [D]the blues pour
out of the dives and bars
[G]Ain't no pla[D]ce for a bro[Em]ken heart
She could've told me [D]in Bat
on Rouge or Dal[G]las
[A]Anywhere but Mem[D]phis
[A][G][A]

[Verse 3]
[D]
Wish she could have [F#m]worked
up her [G]courage
[A]And let me down in Little
[D]Rock[Asus4][A][D]
Or even [F#m]as far back [G]as Phoenix
[Em]When I stop to call
from that truck [Asus4]stop
[A]And [Bm]if telling me soon
[A]er was just [G]too hard
[C]She could've waited [G]later
to break my heart
[Asus4][A]

[Verse 4]
[D]
Any[F#m]where [D]but Memphi[G]s
Any oth[A]er place [F#]would have
made a dif[Bm]ference[Asus4]
The [A]way [D]the blues pour out
of the dives and bars
[G]Ain't no pla[D]ce for a bro[Em]ken heart
She could've told [D]me in Bat
on Rouge or Dal[G]las
[A]Anywhere but Mem[D]phis

[Verse 5]
Where [D]the blues pour out
of the dives and bars
It [G]ain't [D]no place for a [Em]broken heart
She could've told [D]me in Bat
on Rouge or Dal[G]las
[Asus4]Anywhere [A]but Memphi[D]s
