Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][G][D][A][G][D][A]

[Verse 1]
[A]She sleeps alone
in [D]the warm nights of [A]Memphis
Where the [G]Peabody [D]Hotel
meets the velveteen [A]sky
She sings like the waves in
[D]the cool Missis[A]sippi
That brought her [D]from St.
Paul [A]in '75
And men come to court her with
[D]roses and [A]sweet wine
Where [G]hands cross the
[D]ivories from six until [A]nine
She sings away sorrow each
[D]night when she [A]leaves him
She [G]goes home [D]alone,
She's not the marrying [A]kind

[Verse 2]
[G][Chorus:]
Love is a [D]memory that
she'll always [A]hold
Cause [G]love in a [D]memory never grows [A]old
[G]Why she did [D]leave him,
well nobody [A]knows
[G]Love in a [D]memory never grows [A]old

[Interlude 1]
[G][D][A][D]
[A][G][D][A][D][A][G]
[D][A][G][D][A]

[Verse 3]
Now [A]he works the toll booth
on the [D]New Jersey [A]Turnpike
The [G]ring [A]on [G]his fin[D]ger
grows cold to the [A]bone
His sons were all dreamers who
[D]cheat on their [A]own wives
He still [G]dreams of St. [D]Paul when he's [A]cheat[G][A][D]
[A]ing[G][D][A][G][D][A]
[G]alo[D]ne[A]

[Outro 1]
[Chorus]
[G][D][A][G][D]
