Verse 
                        E 
Still remember that crackle 
                     B 
The needle laying down 
C#m                                                 A 
The stain of the glass in the chaple as we laid him in the ground 
                E                               B 
Their feet shuffling oh they might start running 
                    C#m                             A 
Yeah, I'll run that Mississippi 'til my feet hit Tennessee ground

                    E 
Just like he told me 
                    B 
Never pray for change 
                A 
That Memphis rain

Now my nightmare's my money 
                        B 
Been keeping my awake 
            C#m                                                 A 
Never knew what the blues could do to a boy that was given everything it takes 
                        E                               B 
Now the Cadillac's hummin and my heart starts pumping 
                        C#m                                                     A 
Yeah there ain't no doubt that there's no way out from everything I ever wanted 
 

[Refrão]
                        E 
The pills and the pain 
                        B 
Never pray for change 
                        A 
That old Memphis Rain 

Bridge 
            C#m             B               A 
Ain't it gold, rock and roll, and it's mine 
            C#m             B               A 
Don't mistake what it takes to lose sight of the line 
            C#m             B               F#m 
Because in time you will find if you do

Well they burned down Big Hill 
                    B 
And they marched away 
            C#m                                      A 
I can still see that old A-frame kickin' back off of that big lake 
                E 
I still go there 
                        B 
To the middle of no-where 
            C#m                                     A 
It's a lifetime left to me gotta build it up to what it oughta be
