♫ Intro:

A


♫ Verse 1:
A
Mercy Lord, they like their drink in Memphis
                                     E
It must be they can keep their water clean
     A                                 D
They ain't ashamed, it ain't that bad, sippin' from a paperback
A              E                   A
Dream of dyin' young down on Beale Street
A

Make no mistake, those hands are tough as leather
                              E
Hidin' under all those golden rings
     A
They sure know how to spin you 'round
   D
To take out all over town
    A                  E          A
But it ain't worth it, hear my warning


♫ Chorus:
     D
When they come callin', hootin', hollerin'
A
Leave them boys alone
                B7
They are torn between the linеs
                 E
They're plantin' roots in rock and roll
      A
He'll swеar to God he'll tame his ways
    D
But in the end they're all the same
      A                E
Don't marry a man from Memphis
        A
I would know


♫ Verse 2:
A
You'll think that you're a match that's made in Heaven
                                    E7
That you finally found your ride or die
                A
'Cause they may love their mama and the king
         D
But they sure do live the blues they sing
A              E                    A
Once you say I do you're doomed for life


♫ Chorus:
     D
When they come callin', hootin', hollerin'
A
Leave them boys alone
                B7
They are torn between the linеs
                 E
They're plantin' roots in rock and roll
      A
He'll swеar to God he'll tame his ways
    D
But in the end they're all the same
      A                E
Don't marry a man from Memphis
        A
I would know

Ain't too late to let him go
      D              F
Don't make me say "I told you so"
