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
