Verse 1
(C major) (G major) (C major) (G major) She (C major) was (G major) seventeen,
left Arkansas, (C major)
moved here on her own (G major) (C major)
After mom's (G major) boyfriend in a tor (C major) nado
tore up her home (G major) (C major)
She brought a (E minor) small dog with her
She left behind her old clothes (C major)
She (E minor) emptied out albums and pictures
By the side of the road (C major)
She'd (A minor) make (A major) some money,
then she would leave
But (A minor) Memphis is not what
it used (G major) to be (C major) (G major) (C major)
She got (G major) a job in Memphis
Be (C major) cause she lied about her age (G major) (C major)
She said (G major) she'd give it a try (C major)
Up on the (G major) stage (C major)
At the (E minor) Platinum Plus Club
She was dancing
Dan (C major) cing to the drugs and the music
If the (E minor) body was a weapon
She'd (C major) have learned how to use it
So give (A minor) her (A major) the money if
you want it to see
Because (A minor) Memphis is not what it
used (G major) to be (C major) (G major) (C major) (G major) (C major) (G major) (C major)
She made (G major) 3 ,000 (C major) a week
in that East Memphis club (G major) (C major)
Till the fed (G major) s shut it down
for (C major) running drug (G major) s (C major)
Then the (E minor) money got tight,
but she's got a solu (C major) tion
She and (E minor) some other girls next summer
Moving down to Hous (C major) ton
I asked her (A minor) what else in town (A major) should I see
She (A minor) said Memphis is not what it used (G major) to be
(C major) It's not what it used (G major) to be (C major) (G major) (C major)
(G major) And I know that (C major) oh, (G major) oh, (C major) oh, oh,
(G major) Oh, oh, oh, oh, (C major) oh, oh, oh
Oh, (G major) oh, oh,
(C major) (G major)
