Memphis On The River Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[F][C][G][F][C][G]

[Verse 1]
[C]You try so
hard to be a [F]mystery
A [C]lady never shows her card[G]s
[C]The words you speak,
say you [F]love me
But the [C]tone of your voice says it's [G]hard

[Verse 2]
Love me to [Am]pieces,
you left [F]me speechless
I'm fighting [Am]fair, but baby,
I know your [G]weakness

[Verse 3]
So let's go to [F]Memphis on the [C]river
at that [G]special place we know
[F]You can wear your [C]em erald dress
[G]that makes your red hair glow
We'll drink [F]whiskey mixed with moon[C]light
like the [G]wa ter's steady flow
[F]Memphis on the [C]river,
that's [G]where I wanna [C]go

[Verse 4]
[C]
I don't pretend to [F]have the answers
As if [C]the questions weren't
[G]enough[C]
The less you say the [F]more you share
Beg[C]gin' me to call your [G]bluff

[Verse 5]
It's just six o'c[Am]lock, baby,
don't you [F]stop
Leave Nashville [Am]now,
and I'll leave Little [G]Rock

[Verse 6]
We'll go to [F]Memphis on the [C]river at
that [G]special place we know
[F]You can wear your [C]emerald dress
[G]that makes your red hair glow
We'll drink [F]whiskey mixed with moon[C]light
like the wa[G]ter's steady flow
[F]Memphis on the [C]river,
that's [G]where I wanna [C]go[Am]

[Verse 7]
Nothin' soothes raw [G]hearts,
like [Am]slow heat in the [G]dark[Am]
With an old song [F]playing,
that [Am]echoes just what I'm say[G]ing, babe

[Verse 8]
[F]Memphis on the [C]river at that
[G]special place we know
[F]You can wear your [Cm]em erald d[C]ress
[G]that makes your red hair glow
We'll drink [F]whiskey mixed with [C]moonlight
like the wa[G]ter's steady flow
[F]Memphis on the [C]river,
that's [G]where I wanna go
[C]We'll go to Mem

[Verse 9]
[F]phis on the [C]river
Oh, [G]Memphis [Am]on the river
Go to [F]Memphis on the [C]river, [G]child
Mem[F]phis on the [C]river, baby, [G]river, baby
Come [Am]on let's go[F],
[C]it [G]won't take lon[F]g[C][G][Am]
Meet me down [F]in Memphis[C][G]
