Memphis Tennessee
Chuck Berry / Chuck Berry: Back in the U.S.A (1959)
| G | D |
| Long- | distance information, get me Memphis, Tennessee. |
Help me find the party who tried to get in touch with me. | |
| G |
She | could not leave her number, but I know who placed the call. |
| D7 | C | G |
'Cause my uncle took a | message and he | wrote it on the | wall. |
Help me, information, get in touch with my Marie. | |
She's the only one who called me here from Memphis, Tennessee. | |
Her home is on the south side, high upon the ridge; | |
Just a half a mile from the Mississippi bridge. | |
Help me, information, more than that I cannot add, | |
Only that I miss her and all the fun we had. | |
But we were pulled apart because her mom would not agree, | |
Tore apart our happy home in Memphis, Tennessee. | |
Last time I saw Marie she was wavin' me goodbye; | |
With hurry-home drops on her cheeks that trickled from her eyes. | |
Marie is only six years old; information please: | |
Try to put me through to her in Memphis, Tennessee! | |
