[Verse 2]
[Am]Up in Memphis
the music's like a heat wave
White Lightnin' bound to drive you wild
Mama's baby's in the heart of every school girl
"Love Me Tender" leaves 'em cryin' in the aisle
[E]The way he moved,
it was a [D]sin, so sweet and true
[C]Always wanting more,
[G]he'd leave you longing for

[Chorus 2]
