Verse 1
G
An hour or so was open,
Am
so I walked down by the river,
F
the Mississippi River
C
down in Memphis, Tennessee.
G
It was March the 14th weather
Am
with the winter probably over,
F
a dime store bag of popcorn
C
G
and some awful instant tea, instant tea.
I sat down by railroad tracks
Am
and looked across the water
F
Saw lovers holdin' hands down
C
where the tracks began to bend
G
Two kites flew up behind them,
Am
sailin' high and goin' higher
F
And flags out on the island poles
C
were whippin' in the wind
G
In the wind
Forty modern steamboat
Am
docked with Arkansas behind it
F
And water rippling silver
C
down the bluffs across the way
G
As breezes stole my popcorn
Am
I was almost near relaxing
F
Then up from close behind
C
I heard the backpack traveller say
G
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Am
G
He said, where's
your railroad station?
Am
Sir, he sounded like Australian
F
And I don't know why I said
And so he walked away from me
C
G
He's kinda in a hurry there
Am
But by himself he's searching
F
And wonderin' what it's like
to be so damn carefree
C
G
Em
It's me, yes, it's me
G
An hour or so is open
Am
so I walk down by the river
F
The Mississippi River
down in Memphis, Tennessee
C
Tennessee
