    Verse 1
    D

    I was running fast in I -61,

    maybe three hours outside

    of Memphis,

    making good time and driving smooth,

    on course for the Elvis Presley

    souvenir shopping mall and pharmacy.

    Even though it was only a 51 Hudson,


    it was running like a dream,

    and about the only thing that

    stopped it being a perfect day

    was I couldn't get anything on the radio

    but Bobby Rydell Howard Stern or Oral Roberts,


    who was threatened to strike me dead

    if I didn't send him money.

    All in all, though, I was

    feeling pretty good,

    which made it come as

    something of a major surprise

    that I never made it to Memphis.

    It was probably my own fault.

    I should never have taken

    those pills

    that were offered to me in the men's room

    by a Mexican in a lime green

    matador suit

    that not even Prince

    would have the gold to wear.

    I was in this Denny's along the way.

    I'd only pulled in for a cup of coffee

    and a pack of cigarettes

    and some Jim Thompson fantasy

    about the waitress.

    Never stopped a place

    that only serves non -alcoholic beer.

    Moosey, Den, Moosey, Den, Jack.

    Now, Mexican wanted five

    bucks a pop

    for these suckers.

    Maybe I shouldn't have taken ten,

    but I was in the mood for

    conspicuous consumption,

    and the ghost of Elvis was

    at my shoulder.

    I should have suspected

    that something was up

    when the Mexican made a secret

    hand signal and vanished.

    Carlos Castaneda comes

    in all shapes and sizes.

    Even then, though, there in the men's room,

    I never thought that I wouldn't
    C
    D

    make it to Memphis.

    I guess it already started

    with the flickerings

    at the corners of my eyes

    that I dismissed at the time

    as being a result of not having slept

    for 48 hours straight.

    The bats came later.

    At first they were content to loiter

    in the periphery of my vision,

    but after a while they got real bold

    and started flying alongside

    the car in formation,
    D

    like they were on their way to bomb Dresden.

    It really got bad

    when I was going down this

    slight incline.

    There wasn't another car in sight.

    Then I ran into this waist -deep,

    hammer horror

    Edgar Allan Poe missed.

    And I began to realize

    that I wasn't going to

    make it to Memphis.

    Now, after I hit the mist,

    all I can get on the radio
    D

    is this angelic choir,
    D

    an d the signs are written in Hittite,
    D

    and at any moment Rod Serling is going to come
    D
    D

    marching through the windshield
    D

    and offer me for your consideration.

    Oh, God, oh, Graceland,
    D

    am I in a lot of trouble.

    I have lost all sense of motion

    and my hands are turning blue.

    And there's definitely something wrong

    with space and time.
    D

    And the Hudson has started to glow.
    D
    D
    D

    Oh shit! Here comes the monolith!
    D

    What did I do to finish up here?

    Some post -Einstein zombie

    flying Dutchman in a wormhole

    I can't get out of

    because in here there's

    no concept of out.

    Life's a bitch and then you're infinite

    and I never made it to Memphis.
    D
    D

    I never made it to Memphis.

    You hear me?

    I never made it to Memphis.

    I never made it to Memphis.
    D
    D

    I never made it to Memphis.
    D

    We I'm sorry,

    I'm sorry. sorry. sorry.

    Because... ...tell you what,

    that's what you were meant to be.

    • Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

    • Well-Designed App

      Rose the Black Cat

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

    • Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

    • Secret weapon

      Brad

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

    • Very reliable tuner

      theNewPaul

      This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

    • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      Caleb Schafli

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

    • Great to tune and play

      Lynae T

      I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
