Stuck Inside Of Mobile With The Memphis Blues Again Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]The [Am]Ragman[C][Am]
The [C]ragman he draws [Am]circles
[C]Up and down the [Am]block
I'd [C]ask him what the matter [Am]was
But I know [F]that he don't [G]talk
And the [F]ladies treat me [C]kindly
[Am]They furnish me with tape
[C]But [Am]deep inside my [C]heart,
I [F]know I can't [C]escape
[Em]Oh, Mama, can this really be the end?
To be [C]stuck in[Am]side a mobile
with the [F]Memphis blues
[G]aga[C]in[F]
[C]Shakespeare, he's in the al[Am]ley
With his [C]pointed shoes and his [Am]bells
Speak[C]ing to some [Am]French girl
Who [F]says she knows me [G]well
And [F]I would send a m[C]essage
To [Am]find out if she's [C]talked
[Am]But the post office has been s[C]tolen
And [G]the mail[F]box is [C]locked
[Em]Oh, mama, can this really be the end?
To be [C]stuck in[G]side [Am]a mobile
with the [F]Memphis [G]blues [C]again[G][F]
[C]Mona tried to [Am]tell me
to [C]stay away from the [Am]train line
She [C]said that all those railroad [Am]men,
they drink [F]up your blood like [Dm]wine[G]
And [F]I said I didn't know t[C]hat,
[Am]then again there's only one I've [C]met
An[Am]d he just smoked my ey[C]elids,
and he punched [F]my [C]cigarette
[Em]Oh, Mama, can this really be the end?
To be [C]stuck in[Am]side of Mobile
with the [Dm]Memphis [G]Blues [C]again?[F]
Grand[C]pa, he died [Am]last week,
and now [C]he's buried in the rock[Am]s
And [C]everyone still talks [Am]about
how badly they [F]were [G]shocked
But [F]me, I expected it to happen,
[C]I k[Am]new he'd lose control
[C]When he [Am]built a fire on Main Street,
[C]and he sho[F]t it full of hol[Dm]es[C]
[Em]Oh, Mama, could this really be the end?
To be [C]stuck in[G]side [Am]of Mobile
with the [Dm]Memph[F]is [G]Blues [C]again[G]
[F]Now[Eb] the sena[C]tor,
he came down [Am]here
Show[C]ing everyone his gun
[Am]Hand[C]ing out free ticke[Am]ts
To the wed[F]ding of his [G]son
[F]Me, I nearly got busted
[C]And [Am]wouldn't it be my luck[C]
[Am]To be caught without a t[C]icket
and [Em]be disco[F]vered
beneath a [Dm]truck[C]
[Em]Oh, mama, can this really be the end?
To be [C]stuck in[G]side a [Am]mo bile
with the [F]Memphis [G]Crews [C]again
[Eb]Now the [C]cheap preacher,
he looked [Am]baffled
When I [C]asked him why he [Am]dressed
[C]With twenty pounds of [Am]headlines
[F]Stapled to his chest
[G]And [Am]he c[F]ursed me when I proved to him
[C]And then I w[Am]hispered, said,
not even you can [C]hide
You [Am]see, you're just like [C]me
And I hope [F]you're [C]satisfied
[Em]Oh, Mama, can this really be the end?
To be [C]stuck in[G]side [Am]of Mobile
with [G]the [F]Memphis [G]Blues [C]again
[F]Now the [C]rain man gave me [Am]two cures
And [C]he said, jump right [Am]in
The [C]one was Texas Medicine,
[Am]and the other was [F]just real gin[Dm][G]
And [F]like a fool I mixed [C]them,
[Am]and it strangled up my m[C]ind
And [Am]now people just get uglier,
[C]and I have no [F]sense of tim[C]e
[Em]Oh, Mama, can this really be the end?
To be [C]stuck in[G]side a mo[Am]bile
with [G]the [F]Memphis [G]blues [C]again[G]
[F]Now[Eb] when[F] Neitha [C]says come see he[Am]r
In her [C]honky -tonk [Am]lagoon
Where [C]I can watch her waltz f[Am]or free
Neitha an[F]d I'm out of your m[G]ood
And [F]I say oh come on now
[C]You know [Am]you know about
my de[C]butante
She [Am]says your debutante
knows what you [C]need
But [F]I know what you w[C]ant
[Em]Oh, Mama, could this really be the end?
To be [Am]stuck [C]insid[G]e a mo [Am]bile
with [G]the [F]Memphis [G]Blues [C]again
[Eb]Now the [C]bricks,
they lay on [Am]Graham Street
Where [C]the neon madmen [Am]climb
They [C]all fall there so perfectly
[Am]And it all seems[F] so well -time[G]d
[F]Here I sit so patiently
[C]Waiting [Am]to find out what price
[C]You hav[Am]e to pay to get out of [C]going
through [F]all of these things [C]twice
[Em]Oh, mama, can this really be the end?
To be [C]stuck in[G]side a mo[Am]bile
[G]with the [F]Memphis [G]blues [C]again
[F]Stuck [C]insid[G]e of Mobil[Am]e
with [G]the Mem[F]phis Blues again
