[Verse 1]
G G
Well I lived next door to royalty
C F
A skinny little kid just like me
G C
We'd go hunt down the honeybees
F
Back in the days gone by
[Verse 2]
G G
His daddy had a car that would go sometimes
C F
That'd engine roar, he'd let us ride
G C
Barbed wire fences flying far behind
F
Back in the days gone by
[Chorus]
C F
Tupelo rest my soul
G
Take me to the river
G
I've been delivered
C F G
Into the hands that reach to hold
C F
Tupelo rock 'n roll
G
Sing it in the kitchen
G
And pass the ammunition
C F G
Turn all your tears of blue to gold
[Verse 3]
G G
I was a Pepsi Cola factory man
C F
Made my living with my own two hands
G C
That skinny kid moved up to Graceland
F
Back in the days gone by
[Verse 4]
G G
We slept beneath our hopes and wishes
C F
Forty two years, me and the missus
G C
My memories are my greatest riches
F
From back in the days gone by
[Chorus]
C F
Tupelo rest my soul
G
Take me to the river
G
I've been delivered
C F G
Into the hands that reach to hold
C F
Tupelo rock 'n roll
G
Sing it in the kitchen
G
And pass the ammunition
C F G
Turn all your tears of blue to gold
[Bridge]
C F
Time moves on like a melody
G
And I can hear those memories sing
C F
Time moves on like a melody
G
And I can hear those memories sing
C F
Time moves on like a melody
G
And I can hear those memories sing
C F
Time moves on like a melody
G
And I can hear those memories sing
[Chorus]
C F
Tupelo rest my soul
G
Take me to the river
G
I've been delivered
C F G
Into the hands that reach to hold
C F
Tupelo rock 'n roll
G
Sing it in the kitchen
G
And pass the ammunition
C F G
Turn all your tears of blue to gold
[Outro]
C F G
Turn all your tears of blue to gold
C F G
Turn all your tears of blue to gold
