Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G]

[Verse 1]
[G]Lookin' at you through
a misty moonlight
Katydid sing like a [C]symphony
[G]Porch swing swayin' like
a Tennessee lullaby
Melody blowing through the
[C]willow [D]tree
What was I sup[C]posed to do

[Verse 2]
[D]
Standing there [C]lookin' [D]at you
A lonely [F]boy far from [G]home

[Verse 3]
Maybe it was [G]Memphis
Maybe it was [C]Southern summer nights
Maybe it was [Am]you, maybe it was [C]me
But it sure felt [G]right

[Verse 4]
[G]Read about you in a Faulkner novel
Met you once in a [C]Williams play
[G]Heard about you in a [C]country love song
[G]Summer night beauty took my
[C]breath [D]away
What was I [C]supposed to do

[Verse 5]
[D]
Standing there [C]lookin' at [D]you
A lonely [F]boy far from [G]home

[Verse 6]
Maybe it was [G]Memphis
Maybe it was [C]Southern summer nights
Maybe it was [Am]you, maybe it was [C]me
But it sure felt [G]right

[Verse 7]
Maybe it was [G]Memphis (Memphis)
Maybe it was [C]Southern summer nights
(Southern summer nights)
Maybe it was [Am]you, maybe it was [C]me
But it sure felt [G]right

[Interlude 1]
[G][C][Am]
[C][G][C]
[Am][C][G]

[Verse 8]
[G]Every night now since
I've been back home
Lie awake drifting in my [C]memory
[G]Think about you on your mama's
front porch swing
Talking that way [C]so soft [D]to me
What was I [C]supposed to do

[Verse 9]
[D]
Standing there [C]lookin' at you
[D]A lonely b[F]oy far f[G]rom home

[Verse 10]
Maybe it was [G]Memphis
Maybe it was [C]Southern summer nights
Maybe it was [Am]you, maybe it was [C]me
But it sure felt [G]right

[Verse 11]
Maybe it was [G]Memphis
(Memphis)
Maybe it was [C]Southern summer nights
(Southern summer nights)
Maybe it was [Am]you, maybe it was [C]me
But it sure felt [G]right
Maybe it was [Am]you, maybe it was [C]me
But it sure [G]felt right

[Verse 12]
[G]Oh, [C]you know it sure felt rig[G]ht
[C]Oh, maybe it was [G]Memphis
[C]Maybe it was Mem[G]phis
[C]Maybe it was Mem[G]phis
[C]Maybe it was Mem[G]phis
[C]But it sure felt rig[G]ht
[C]
