The sun went down like a curtain

Memphis looks bigger at night

She bought me good whiskey in Memphis
            Bm            Daug           D
She bought supper and she paid for the room

She paid dearly for loving me too

About men in the rain

Did you ever miss a plain
    D
In Memphis

VERSE 3:
    Bm             Daug          D
We laughed at the strangers we were in the bed
     Bm         Daug       D
Two cigarettes lit up the room
      G            A           Bm           A
Like two backseat lovers can't wait to get started
        G             A         G
Knowing everything's over too soon

Now Memphis ain't bad in the morning
     Bm              Daug          D
Good coffee well it's just hard to find
     G        A                   Bm    A
But let me suggest that you never leave Memphis
     G       A        G
With anything on your mind

She said hey don't I know you

The one with the guitar boys
     D
And all them sad songs

About men in the rain
         G
Did you ever miss a plain
    D
In Memphis

         C           G
She said hey don't I know you
      D
Now ain't you the one
      C           G
The one with the guitar boys
     D
And all them sad songs

      C
About men in the rain
         G
Did you ever miss a plain
    D
In Memphis
