Memphis Tennessee Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Lon[G]g d[D]istance [A]information,
give me Memphis, Tennessee
Help me find the party,
try to get in touch with me
She [D]could not leave a number,
but I know a place to call
Cause [A]Uncle took the number
and he wrote it on the [D]wall[G][D]
Oh, [A]help me operator,
get in touch with my Marie
She's the only one they call
from Memphis, Tennessee
Her [D]home is on the south side,
high above the ridge
[A]Just a half a mile from the
Mississippi [D]Bridge[G][D][G][D][G]
[D]The las[A]t time I saw my Marie,
she was waving me goodbye.
Furry home drops on her cheeks
that trickled from her eyes.
[D]We were torn apart
because her mom could not agree.
[A]Tore apart our happy home
in Memphis, [D]Tennessee.[G]
[D][A]
[D][A]
[D][G][D][G][D]
[A]Help me, more than this I
can't cannot add,
only that I miss her so,
and all the fun we had.
Mar[D]ie is only six years old,
and permission please,
[A]please help put me through to her

[Outro 1]
in Memphis, Tennessee.
