Memphis Tennessee chords by Johnny Rivers

Chords with lyrics

Intro: G+G

   D MajorD
Long-distance information, get me Memphis, Tennessee
   D MajorD
Help me find the party who tried to get in touch with me
  G+G
She could not leave her number, but I know who placed the call
            D7D7               G+G
'Cause my uncle took a message and he wrote it on the wall
   D MajorD
Help me, information, get in touch with my Marie
   D MajorD
She's the only one who called me here from Memphis, Tennessee
  G+G
Her home is on the south side, high upon the ridge
            D7D7        G+G
Just a half a mile from the Mississippi bridge

(D MajorD  D MajorD  G+G  D7D7  G+G)

   D MajorD
Help me, information, more than that I cannot add
   D MajorD
Only that I miss her and all the fun we had
  G+G
But we were pulled apart because her mom would not agree
            D7D7         G+G
Tore apart our happy home in Memphis, Tennessee
   D MajorD
Last time I saw Marie, she was wavin' me goodbye
   D MajorD
With hurry-home drops on her cheeks that trickled from her eyes
  G+G
Marie is only 6 years old; information please
            D7D7          G+G
Try to put me through to her in Memphis Tennessee
