All the Way From Memphis

Well, Forgot my sixstring razor,

(G#m7)hit the sky.

(Bm)Half way to (A)Memphis before I realized.

(Bm)Well, I rang the (G)information,

(G#m7)my axe was cold.

(Bm)They said she rides the train to Oreoles.

Now it's a (A7)mighty long way down the (D)dusty trail,

and the (A7)sun burns hot ies on the (D)cold steel rails.

And I look like a bum and I crawl like a snail

all the way from (D)Memphis.

(Bm)Well, I got to Oreoles, know,

(G#m7)it a (A)month.

(Bm)And there my (A)guitar, before electric junk.

(Bm)Well, Some spade said, (G)"Rock and rollers,

(G#m7)you're all the (A)same."

(Bm)Man, that's your instrument,

I felt ashamed.

Now it's a (A7)mighty long way down the (D)rock and roll,

through the (A7)Bradford cit ies and the (D)Oreoles.

And you look like a star but you're still on the dole

all the way from (D)Memphis.

(G)Yeah, it's a (A7)mighty long way down (D)rock and roll,

from the (A7)Liverpool docks ies to the (D)Hollywood Bowl.

And you climb up the mountains and you fall down the holes

all the way from Mem Yeah,

phis. a (A7)mighty long way down (D)rock and roll,

as your (A7)name er gets hot ies so your (D)heart grows wood cold.

And you got to stay young,

man, you real can er be old

all the way from Mem Yeah,

it's a all the way from Memphis.
