Verse 1
Folk (E major) s, (A major)
I've just been down, down to
Memphis town
That's (D major) where the people smile, smile
on you all the while
(A major) Hospitality, man, it was good to me
I (D major) couldn't spend a dime, (F sharp major)
Hadn't it rather's time.
(B major) I went out a (F sharp major) -dancin' with (B major) a
Tennessee deer,
(E major) Met a man named
Handy with a band you should hear,
(A major) And while the dancers swayed,
All the fellas played (D major) real harmony. (A major)
(D major) I never will (A major) forget the
tune they call the
Memphis
Blues. (D major) (A major)
They got a (D major) fiddler there who always slickens his hair,
folks he sure does pull a mean blow.
And when (G major) the big bassoon (B minor) second
(G minor) s to (D major) the trombone's crew
It moans just like (A major) a sinner on (E major)

every haunting refrain
It's like a southern sorrow song
Here (G major) comes the very part
Wraps (D major) a spell (C major) around (D major) my heart
It set (A major) s me wild
To hear that lovin' tune again (D major)
The (G major) (A major) glyph (D major) is blue (A major)
(D major) Mis (G major) sissippi
River
Long, deep, and wide
Got myself a row (D major) boat and I
(G major) pulled for the other side
An (C major) d when I heard the music I (C minor)
(D major) could lay (G major) it right (A major) down and (G major) die
Oh, you (D major) should have heard the singing
Come floating out across
the tide (G major) (E minor) (D major) (G major)
Get (E major) on your fanciest dancing shoes an
(E minor) d (A major) ask the leader to (Edim) play the blues, the
(G major) M -E -N (B major) -P (Fdim) -H -I -S
