(No Capo)
Intro.: |(G) |(G) |(C) |(C) |
(G) When I am gone, I (C)know the waiting gets to you
It's like the (G)world stopped turning
You're frozen, no one seems to (C)notice the absence of the wind
I (Am)know you were only, it's the (C)kind only I feel out (G)here
(Chorus)
I don't wanna be a-(C)lone in Memphis, I don't wanna be a-(Em)lone in New Or-(D)leans
I don't wanna (C)dwell in cheap motels, dirty (Em)sheets and hourly (D)rigs
I just wanna put the (C)pedal to the floor, burn up the (Em)stage like an old trouba-(D)dour
I wanna get (C) stoned, but I don't wanna be alone in (G)Memphis anymore
Solo: |(G) |(G) |(G) |(G) |(C) |(C) |(C) (C) |
(G) And I've been down in Mississippi (C)river towns for far too long
(G) There's something about the night life, something about this bar
There's (C) something in the music, the brass, the drum beat like a (Am) heart
Re-(C)minds me of your eyes and cold black (G)hair, I am (Am)growing ever (C)lonelier out (G)here
(Chorus)
I don't wanna be a-(C)lone in Memphis, I don't wanna be a-(Em)lone in New Or-(D)leans
I don't wanna (C)dwell in cheap motels, dirty (Em)sheets and hourly (D)rigs
I just wanna put the (C)pedal to the floor, burn up the (Em)stage like an old trouba-(D)dour
I wanna get (C) stoned, but I don't wanna be alone in (G)Memphis anymore
(Chorus)
I don't wanna be a-(C)lone in Memphis, I don't wanna be a-(Em)lone in New Or-(D)leans
I don't wanna (C)dwell in cheap motels, dirty (Em)sheets and hourly (D)rigs
I just wanna put the (C)pedal to the floor, burn up the (Em)stage like an old trouba-(D)dour
I wanna get (C) stoned, but I don't wanna be alone in (G)Memphis anymore
