Memphis The Blues

[Intro]
Asus2 E Bsus4

[Verse 1]
Asus2 E
Bsus4   Asus2
     Rain    started fallin' on the roof that mornin'
      E                Bsus4
It was early summertime
            Asus2
We fogged up     the rear window of my sixty seven
     E                Bsus4
Three hundred, in line
        Asus2
My lungs     have been hurtin' and it's likely my liver
    E                  Bsus4
Has taken a lickin' too
          Asus2
Them Beale     Street boys are handy
           E               Bsus4
With a clap on four and two

[Chorus]
    Asus2
The thrill is gone so slow and easy,
     E               Bsus4
won't you love me tender?
       Asus2                             E
The way     you move's a drug and I am on a life long
   Bsus4
bender
   Asus2                                  E
So rest them tired eyes and let your dress fall to the
      Bsus4
ground
            Asus2                  E               Bsus4
We're the only ones left who love Otis in this town
      Asus2         Bsus4             E
I need     you like Memphis, the blues
      Asus2         Bsus4   E
I need     you like Memphis, the blues

[Verse 2]
Asus2 E Bsus4 Asus2 E
Bsus4      Asus2
     Cracked    up skies tried on a couple lives
       E                Bsus4
To find the one that fit
    Asus2
Cold     wind comin' and the heat quit runnin'
        E                 Bsus4
But you keep my candle lit
   Asus2                                             E
Pictures on the wall say it all with the kinda conviction,
make a river burn
Bsus4
             Asus2
You got a skeleton key on a chain around your neck
        E                    Bsus4
I got a chain around my heart

[Chorus]
     Asus2
Church    bells ringing in the air down the hill
         E                        Bsus4
From the house where you were born
I said,
   Asus2
"Baby, don't you think we ought to live a little bit
         E                     Bsus4
Before Gabriel blows his horn?"
      Asus2         Bsus4   E
I need     you like Memphis, the blues
      Asus2         Bsus4   E
I need     you like Memphis, the blues

I need     you like Memphis, the blues
