TALK MEMPHIS TO ME - Cybill Shepherd and Tom Wopat

 Original key on the show is E major and Tom Wopat plays the guitar with a caoped 2nd fret.
 Be sure your font is Courier size 12 so the chords line up over the lyrics properly

CAPO THE 2ND FRET. (You will be playing in E major using these chords) 
 If you are looking for a uncapoed version, scroll down, I put it on the bottom of this page.

       D        G  Em          D
Talk memphis to me and you'll see
D                  G     Em     open      A       D        
All the beauty in-side makes    you    laugh and cry
D              G            Em          D
I can see the moon shining thru    the trees
       D        G   Em    open    A     D               
Talk memphis to me such  sweet   harmon-y


 D                  G               Em            A
Why does the river mean so much   flowing to the sea
D                                 Em                      
Clouds overhead reflected there  touch the deepest part of me
A                          A
Too many lunches in LA   Bumper to bumper all the way
Bb                                              D           G        A
So little that's real, so much time lost  the ransom of my soul the cost

      D        G  Em          D
Talk memphis to me and you'll see
D                  G     Em     open      A       D        
All the beauty in-side makes    you    laugh and cry
D                G             Em        D
I can hear the train coming 'cross the bridge
        D       G    Em    open     A     D             
Talk memphis to me  such   sweet   harmon-y


D                               G             A                            
I've strayed too far from the river's song  Lost in a frenzied world
D                            Em    
I can imagine you and me   Flying back to Tennessee
         A                                 A
We're walking the bluff, a steamboat nears It lifts my heart and calms my fears
Bb                                            D           G        A7
I feel the pulse of your hand in mine  The concert of my heart's design
 A     G             D                    G
All I need is the mighty Mississippi and you
 G     Em            G                        D
All I want is to go back to the home of the blues

       D        G   Em          D
Talk memphis to me and you'll see
D                  G     Em   open   A         D
All the beauty in-side makes  you   laugh and cry
D                G            Em        D
I can hear the train coming 'cross the bridge
        D       G   Em   open    A      D              
Talk memphis to me such  sweet   harmon-y
