Somewhere South Of Memphis chords by Randy Houser

Intro: D

Verse
                            D
Well, I need a sip of muddy water
G       C               D
From my daddy's wishin' well

Scattered his ashes on the delta
G                    C           D
From here on I'll be drinkin' by myself
      G
Where pink Cadillacs and blue suede shoes
     D
Meet steel guitars and new grass blues
    G               C                 A
The music there, it ain't turned into business
G               C                  D
Tonight I'll be somewhere south of Memphis
          G
Where the cotton grows from the Mississippi mud
        D
And the blues runs deep in you blood
  G                             A
I love this land with God as my witness
     C    G   D   G                  D
I'll live and die somewhere south of Memphis
                                    D
Well, I've seen my share of big ol' cities
G              C                D
But I couldn't wait to get back home

Well, they'll play you a, a front porch song for free
     G                     C                   D
That reminds you that they ain't been free for long
           G
Where them juke joints jump on a Friday night
              D
And you don't need a gun to settle no fight
         G                              C            A
And come Sunday mornin', hell, you'll be beggin' for forgiveness
G                C                  D
That's just life somewhere south of Memphis
          G
Where the cotton grows from the Mississippi mud
        D
And the blues runs deep in your blood
  G                             A
I love this land with God as my witness
     C    G   D   G                  D
I'll live and die somewhere south of Memphis

Instrumental
G D x2
G A
                G
Yeah, where the cotton grows from the Mississippi mud
        D
And the blues runs deep in your blood
        G                             A
Well, I love this land with God as my witness
           C    G    D
Well, I'll live and die
                C    G        DGD G                  D      G  C
I'll said I'll, I'll live and die somewhere south of Memphis
            D
That's just life
