Memphis Tennessee Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[F]

[Verse 1]
Long [C]distance information,
give me Memphis, Tennessee
Help me find the party trying
to get in touch with me
She [F]could not leave her number,
but I know who placed the call
'Cause [C]my uncle took the message

[Interlude 1]
and he wrote it on the wall
[F]

[Verse 2]
[C]Help me, information,
get in touch with my Marie
She's the only one who'd phone me
here from Memphis Tennessee
Her [F]home is on the south side,
high up on a ridge
[C]Just a half a mile from the Mississippi Bridge

[Interlude 2]
[F][C]
[F][C][F][C][F][C][F]
[C][F]
[C]

[Verse 3]
[C]Help me, information,
more than that I cannot add
Only that I miss her and all the fun we had
But [F]we were pulled apart because
her mom did not agree
And [C]tore apart our happy home in Memphis,
Tennessee
[F]

[Verse 4]
[C]Last time I saw Marie she's
waving me goodbye
With hurry home drops on her cheek
that trickled from her eye
[F]Marie is only six years old,
information please
[C]Try to put me through to her in Memphis,

[Outro 1]
Tennessee
[F][F]
