An Hour Or So Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][C][G][Am][G]

[Verse 1]
An [G]hour or so was open,
so [Am]I walked down by the river,
the [F]Mississippi River
down in Memphis, [C]Tennessee.
It [G]was March the 14th weather
with the [Am]winter probably over,
a dime [F]store bag of popcorn
and some awful instant [C]tea, instant [G]tea.
I sat down by railroad tracks
and [Am]looked across the water
Saw [F]lovers holdin' hands down
where the tracks began to [C]bend
Two [G]kites flew up behind them,
sailin' [Am]high and goin' higher
And [F]flags out on the island poles
were whippin' in the [C]wind
In the [G]wind
Forty modern steamboat
docked with [Am]Arkansas behind it
And wa[F]ter rippling silver
down the bluffs across the [C]way
As [G]breezes stole my popcorn
I was [Am]almost near relaxing
Then [F]up from close behind
I heard the backpack traveller [C]say
Hey, [G]hey, hey, hey
He [Am]said, [G]where's
your railroad station?
Sir, he [Am]sounded like Australian
And [F]I don't know why I said
And so he walked away from me
[C]He's [G]kinda in a hurry there
But [Am]by himself he's searching
And [F]wonderin' what it's like
to be so damn carefree
It's [C]me, yes, it's [G]me[Em]
An [G]hour or so is open
so I walk [Am]down by the river
The [F]Mississippi River
down in Memphis, Tennessee
[C]Tennessee

[Outro 1]
