[Intro 1]
[D][Bm][D][A][D]

[Verse 1]
[D]It's
midnight in Memphis
[G]And all the boys are out tonig[D]ht.
Oh, [G]midnight in Memphis,
But my true love is not [D]in sight.
[Bm]The neon's glowing,
But [A]I just don't see the light.
[D]

[Verse 2]
I'm following my [G]footsteps
Trying to find myself [D]a friend.[A][D]
Oh, baby! [G]Following my footsteps
Trying to see where they might [D]end.
I'm tryin' to [Bm]break these blues,
But [A]I can't even get them to b[D]end.

[Verse 3]
[D]Oh, [E]mid[G]night in Memphi[D]s.
[A]Well, ya take me [D]awa[G]y.
Midnight in [D]Memphis.
It's a [A]long, long time
[D]Before the day.

[Verse 4]
[D]Runnin' down on Beale [G]Street.
Can you hear that engine [D]roar?
Yeah, yeah, [G]yeah, yeah.
Runnin' down on Beale Street.
There's a girl in every [D]door.
Yeah, it don't [Bm]matter what you got,
[A]They're asking me for mor[D]e.
Play it for me one time,

[Interlude 1]
boys.
[D][G][D][G][D]
[Bm][A][D]

[Verse 5]
I [D]heard the river [G]risin',
Risin' up over my [D]head.
Yeah, [G]heard the river risin',
And this is what [D]it said:
"I don't [Bm]need no [A]live ones;
I just take care of the [D]dead."

[Verse 6]
[G]Oh, midnight [D]in [A]Memphis.
Take me, [D]take me [G]away.
Midnight in [D]Memphis.
It's a [A]long, long time
[D]Before the day.

[Verse 7]
Whoa, oh, [G]oh, oh,
mid[D]night in [G]Memphis.
Midnight in [D]Memphis.[G]
Midnight in [D]Memphis.
It's a [Bm]long, long [A]time
Before the [D]day,

[Outro 1]
Before the day.
