Am     G Am     G

Verse 1:
      Am                                    G
Got a midnight feelin’ since this afternoon
   Am
My soul needs the healin’ of the Memphis moon
       G        Dm
‘Cause when the night comes down with a thudding crash
   Am                                     G
My jeans become a gown with a silver sash

Chorus:
  E7                  Am
A hoot owl sounds its eerie rhyme
  E7                           Am
I guess it’s been around for a long, long time
    E7                Am
And while it sings its haunting tune
          D7                 E7    F  E7      Am
I’m gonna dance by the light of the   Memphis moon


Interlude:
Am     G Am     G


Verse 2:
Am                                     G
Dark waters swell to a riverboat’s cry
    Am                                   G
The stars all yell, and the willows sigh
Dm
Deep as death, oh, the Mighty Mississip’
     Am                                     G
Just rollin’ along like she’s takin’ a trip


Chorus:
E7                      Am
Makin’ her rounds in her muddy shoes
E7                      Am                E7
Dressin’ in browns, but singin’ in blues
                      Am
Midnight fever’s gonna hit me soon
          D7                 E7    F  E7      Am
I’m gonna dance by the light of the   Memphis moon


Instrumental:]

Bridge:

Time dances slow to the rhythm of my feet
Am
The moon hangs low over Beale Street


Chorus:
  E7                  Am
A hoot owl sounds its eerie rhyme
  E7                           Am
I guess it’s been around for a long, long time
    E7                 Am
And while it sings its haunting tune
          D7                 E7    F  E7      Am
I’m gonna dance by the light of the   Memphis moon
