Intro: D MajorD
Verse
D MajorD
Well, I need a sip of muddy water
G+G C majorC D MajorD
From my daddy's wishin' well
Scattered his ashes on the delta
G+G C majorC D MajorD
From here on I'll be drinkin' by myself
G+G
Where pink Cadillacs and blue suede shoes
D MajorD
Meet steel guitars and new grass blues
G+G C majorC A augmentedA
The music there, it ain't turned into business
G+G C majorC D MajorD
Tonight I'll be somewhere south of Memphis
G+G
Where the cotton grows from the Mississippi mud
D MajorD
And the blues runs deep in you blood
G+G A augmentedA
I love this land with God as my witness
C majorC G+G D MajorD G+G D MajorD
I'll live and die somewhere south of Memphis
D MajorD
Well, I've seen my share of big ol' cities
G+G C majorC D MajorD
But I couldn't wait to get back home
Well, they'll play you a, a front porch song for free
G+G C majorC D MajorD
That reminds you that they ain't been free for long
G+G
Where them juke joints jump on a Friday night
D MajorD
And you don't need a gun to settle no fight
G+G C majorC A augmentedA
And come Sunday mornin', hell, you'll be beggin' for forgiveness
G+G C majorC D MajorD
That's just life somewhere south of Memphis
G+G
Where the cotton grows from the Mississippi mud
D MajorD
And the blues runs deep in your blood
G+G A augmentedA
I love this land with God as my witness
C majorC G+G D MajorD G+G D MajorD
I'll live and die somewhere south of Memphis
