Verse 1
(D major) (B minor) (D major) Running down the hallway
of (B minor) an airport in L .A.
Trying (G major) to keep the wind
(A major) from another plane (D major)
He said he's leaving this
time for Memphis
And he (B minor) won't be coming home
You, (G major) your sister and your (A major) mom,
you're on your own (D major)
And I thought, why, why, (A major) (B minor) why this (A major) time (G major)
As (D major) the wind caught wings in
(A major) the January sky (D major) (B minor) (D major) (B minor)
(D major)
I got children of my own
And (B minor) I raised them the best I could
To (G major) never leave be (A major) hind the ones I loved
(D major) When they ask about their granddad
I don't (B minor) lie to them one bit
Yeah, that's (G major) the only thing
I've (A major) ever learned from him (D major)
I said his (G major) bones are getting older
And (D major) his eyes can barely see
The (G major) damages he's done to my (A major) family
He left the (G major) apple of his eye
Hand (D major) away, I don't know this
Trust (G major) me that we tried
We looked (A major) all over Memph (D major) is
(B minor) (D major) (B minor) (D major)
guitar solo
I got a phone call from my mom,
you better (B minor) come quick to L .A.
Stand (G major) ing next to your (A major) dad
as he passes away (D major)
With the family gathering around
and (B minor) tears in her eyes
Mama (G major) finally said (Asus4) what
she deserved to say (D major)
She said your bones (G major) are done grown old
And (D major) your eyes can finally see
The (G major) damages you've done
to my fam (A major) ily with me
You left the (G major) apple of your eye
Hand (D major) to wear, I don't know this
And (G major) trust me that we tried
We looked (A major) all over Memph (D major) is (B minor)
(D major) (B minor) (D major)
(B minor) (D major) (B minor) (D major)
you
Memphis
