Verse:
 D
Sweet Lucinda
      D
Look out your window
G
LA freeway just like the man said
 
People honking their horns
 
Pointing guns at your head
 
 D
Sweet Lucinda
      D
In a land of cotton
        D
You're not forgotten
     G
The Mississippi River just rolls on through

And everybody's wondering what happened to you
        D
In the land of cotton
 
 
Pre-Chorus:
 A
Down on the delta
 
Remember your soul
 
We're waiting just to welcome you back to the fold
   Bm
Tomorrow comes early
 
You better get humming
     G
The whole damn town is gonna know that you're coming
 
 
Chorus:
 D                          G
Bring it on home to Memphis
 D                          G
Bring it on home to Memphis
 D                          G
Bring it on home to Memphis
 D                          G
Bring it on home to Memphis
 
 Bm
Bring it on home and give us a thrill
 G
Bring it on home honey send me the bill
 
 D                          G
Bring it on home to Memphis
 D                          G
Bring it on home to Memphis
 
 
Bridge:
 C
Beale Street was jumping the day you were born
Bm
W.C. Handy was blowing his horn
          D
From the bluffs to Mud Island
 
The music grew quiet
 
Mystery train put a hush on the night
 
 C
Fireflies made light of the hot summer breeze
         G
And the wind was a whisper through the tops of the trees
 D
Rain started falling
 
The river grew lazy
 A
Bring it on home child you're making us crazy

Pre-Chorus:
           A
We've got hot buttered biscuits
 
A Dewberry pie
 
White-flour gravy
 
In an endless supply
 G
Cucumber salad right out of the ground
 
And cold soda water just to wash it all down
     A
But down on the Delta
 
Where cotton is king
 
We only want to treat you like a homecoming queen
   Bm
Tomorrow comes early
 
It's never too late
     G
The whole damn town is gonna open the gate
 
 
Chorus:
 D                          G
Bring it on home to Memphis
 D                          G
Bring it on home to Memphis
 D                          G
Bring it on home to Memphis
 D                          G
Bring it on home to Memphis
 
 Bm
Bring it on home
 
We wanna be good
 G
Bring it on home to the whole neighborhood
 
 
Outro:

Bring it on home to Memphis, yeah
 D                            G
Bring it on home to Memphis, that's right

Bring it on home to Memphis
