|D |D |D |D |Bm |G |G |G |G |
Bm Daug D
The sun she went down like a curtain
Bm Daug D
Lord Memphis looks bigger at night
G A Bm A
All the tattooed boys in there uniforms
G A G
They stepped in and out of the light Bm Daug D
She bought me good whisky in Memphis
Bm Daug D
She bought supper and she paid for the room
G A Bm A
And as best as I can remember
G A G
She paid dearly for loving me too
C G D
She said hey don't I know you now ain't you the one
C G D
The one with the guitar boys and all them sad songs
C
About men in the rain
G
And did you ever miss a plane
D
To Memphis
Bm Daug D
We laughed at the strangers we were in the bed
Bm Daug D
The two cigarettes that lit up the room
G A Bm A
Just like two backseat lovers can't wait to get started
G A G
Knowing everything's over too soon
Bm Daug D
Now Memphis ain't bad in the morning
Bm Daug D
Good coffee Hell 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
C G D
She said hey don't I know you now ain't you the one
C G D
The one with the guitar boys and all them sad songs
C
About men in the rain
G
Did you ever miss a plane
D
To Memphis
