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.

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

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

C  F   F  C   C  G   G  C
Ummmm, Ummmm, Ummmm, Ummmm

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

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

C  F   F  C   C  G   G  C
Ummmm, Ummmm, Ummmm, Ummmm

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

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

C  F   F  C   C  G   G  C
