Boy From Tupelo
by Emmylou Harris
Tabbed by Aitch27

Emmylou Harris first recorded her dedication to Elvis Presley on her album 'Red Dirt
Girl' (2000). It has been a popular song in her live repertoire over the last 15 years and
I have also posted a 'live' transcription of this as it differs.

Standard Tuning (EADGBE)

C majorC             FF
You don't love me, this I know
              C majorC
Don't need a bible to tell me so
              FF
I hung around a little too long
            C majorC
I was good but now I'm gone

     FF
Like the buffalo
       C majorC
That boy from Tupelo
      G+G
Any way the wind can blow
         C majorC
That's where I'm gonna go
          FF
I'll be gone like a five and dime
       C majorC
It'll be the perfect crime
           G+G
Just ask the boy from Tupelo
           C majorC
He's the king and he ought to know

C majorC FF  FF C majorC  C majorC G+G  G+G C majorC
Ummmm, Ummmm, Ummmm, Ummmm

            FF
The shoulder I've been leaning on
                C majorC
Is the coldest place I've ever known
                 FF
There's nothing left for me round here
            C majorC
Looks like it's time to disappear

     FF
Like the buffalo
       C majorC
That boy from Tupelo
           G+G
That old wall down in Jericho
        C majorC
Maybelle on the radio
           FF
I'll be gone like the five and dime
           C majorC
It'll be the perfect crime
           G+G
Just ask the boy from Tupelo
           C majorC
He's the king and he ought to know

You don't love me, this I know
               C majorC
Don't need a bible to tell me so
          FF
It's a shame and a sin
            C majorC
Everything I could have been to you

         FF
Your last chance Texaco
            C majorC
Your sweetheart of the rodeo
         G+G
A augmentedA Juliet to your Romeo
             C majorC
The border you cross into Mexico
           FF
I'll never understand why or how
           C majorC
Oh baby, its too late now
           G+G
Just ask the boy from Tupelo
           C majorC
He's the king and he ought to know
