[Bdim]
[Bbm]I've j[Bbdim]ust been [A]dow[D]n,
down to Memphis town
[G]That's where the[B] peo[C]ple smi[C#dim]le,
[G]smile on [C]you [G]all the [Bb]while[D]
[C]Hospital[D]ity, they [A]were [B]good to [Cdim]me
[B]I couldn't spend a dime
and had the grandest time
I [E]went out a [A]-dancing
[Bbdim]with a Tenn[B]essee deer[E]
They had a [A]fella there named Handy
with a band you should hear
And [F#]while the [G]dancer[A]s g[D]ently swayed,
all the band boys played [G]real [A]harmony
[G]I never w[D]ill forget the t[Bb]une
that [Edim]Handy c[Eb]alled the Memphis
[C]Blues[G][Cm][C][Gdim]
[G]They got a [C]fiddler there
that always licks his hair
[Am]And folk[B]s, he su[Cdim]re does [C]pull some bow[Gm]
[Bb]And when t[F]he beat was soon
[Adim]second s[Cdim] to the t[Ab]rom[G]
[C]bone's [F]croon[Ebdim]
[C]The[F] moo[Edim]n, it moans[Eb] just [Ab]like[G] a sinne[Ab]r on Revival[G] D[C]ay

[Verse 2]
[G]Hear me, people, hear me,
people, [C]hear me, [G]I pray
[D]I'm [G]gonna take a million lessons
[D]till I learn [G]how to play
Because [C]I seem to hear it yet
[Edim]Simply c[C]an't forget
that [G]blues refrain
There's [D]nothing like the handy band
That [C]played the Memphis
[D]blues so [G]grand[C][G]
That melan[C]choly strain
That ever -haunting refrain
[Am]Is l[C]ike a morning sorrow song
Here comes [F]the very [Adim]part
[Cdim]That wraps a spell aro[G]und my hea[C]rt
I can't for[G]get the [Bb]tun e
That [D]Handy [F#dim]called the Me[F]mphis
[C]blues[Ab][Cdim][Ab]
[Cdim]I can't [C]forget the tune[G]
That [Ab]Handy called the [Gsus4]Memphis
The [G]map is blue
[C][Cdim][C]
