Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[F][F][F][F]

[Verse 1]
Long [C]distance information,
give me Memphis, Tennessee
[C]Help me find the party
trying to get in touch with me
She [F]could not leave her number,
but I know who placed the call
'Cause my [C]uncle took the message
and he wrote it on the [F]wall
[F][F][F][F]

[Verse 2]
[C]Help me, information,
get in touch with my Marie
She's the [C]on ly one who'd phone me
here from Memphis, Tennessee
Her [F]home is on the south side,
high up on a ridge
[C]Just a half a mile from the Mississippi [F]Bridge
[F][F][F][F]

[Solo 1]
[C][C][C][C]
[C][C][C][C]
[F][F][F][F]
[C][C][C][F]
[F][F][F][F]

[Verse 3]
[C]Help me, information,
more than that I cannot add
[C]Only that I miss her and all the fun we had
But [F]we were pulled apart
because her mom did not agree
And [C]tore apart our happy home
in Memphis, Tennes[F]see
[F][F][F][F]

[Verse 4]
[C]Last time I saw Marie
she's waving me good-bye
With [C]hurry home drops on her cheek
that trickled from her eye
Ma[F]rie is only six years old, information please
[C]Try to put me through to her
in Memphis, Tennes[F]see

[Outro 1]
[F][F][F][F]
[Repeat and fade]
