INTRO: [F#]
VERSE 1:
Long
[C#] distance information
give me Memphis, Tennessee
Help me find the party
trying to get in touch with me
She
[F#] could not leave her number
but I know who placed the call
My
[C#] uncle took the message
and he wrote it on the
[F#] wall
VERSE 2:
[C#] Help me information
get in touch with my Marie
She's the only one who'd call
from Memphis Tennessee
Her
[F#] home is on the south side
high up on a ridge
[C#] Just a half a mile
from the Mississippi
[F#] Bridge
INSTRUMENTAL: [over VERSE]
VERSE 3:
The
[C#] last time I saw Marie
she was waving me good-bye
With hurry home drops on her cheek
that trickled from her eye
[F#] we were pulled apart
because her mom did not agree
And
[C#] tore apart our happy home
in Memphis Tennes-
[F#]-see
VERSE 4:
[C#] Help me information
more than that I cannot add
Only that I miss her
and all the fun we had
Ma-

in Memphis Tennes-
