As recorded by David Allen Coe

Intro

[D] [Dsus4] [D] [Dsus4]

Verse 1

[Bm] [A]

All the way from Memphis, babe

[D] [G]

In search of something new

[D]

You tell me now

[A]

That Memphis, girl

[G] [D]

Don't hold a thing for you

Verse 2

[Bm] [A]

Hypnotized by gypsy lies

[D] [G]

Like a moth drawn to the flame

[D]

In the crowd

[A]

You're just a faceless face

[G] [D]

Another nameless name

Verse 3

[Bm] [A]

Living on the handouts

[D] [G]

Of the Jesus of your own choosing

[D]

The Christ you knew

[A]

In Memphis, girl

[G] [D]

Could not win for losin'

Verse 4

[Bm] [A]

Love beeds for your rosary

[D] [G]

And your drugs to see you through

[D]

You're telling me

[A]

At seventeen

[G] [D]

You know more than I do

[Guitar Solo]

[Bm] [A] [D] [G]

Say farewell to L.A

And your little coat of blue

'Cause meanwhile

Back in Memphis, girl

[G] [D]

Our mama prays for you

Verse 6

[Bm] [A]

All the way from Memphis, babe

In search of something new

You tell me now

At seventeen

You know more than I do
