[Verso 1]
 
Bm                A 
 All the way from Memphis, babe 
   D                      G 
In search of something new 
    D 
You tell me now 
     A 
That Memphis, girl 
      G                D 
Don't hold a thing for you 
 


[Verso 2]
 
Bm           A 
 Hypnotized by gypsy lies 
       D                 G 
Like a moth drawn to the flame 
       D 
In the crowd 
              A 
You're just a faceless face 
 G               D 
Another nameless name 
 


[Verso 3]
 
Bm             A 
 Living on the handouts 
       D                 G 
Of the Jesus of your own choosing 
    D 
The Christ you knew 
   A 
In Memphis, girl 
G                  D 
 Could not win for losin' 
 


[Verso 4]
 
Bm           A 
 Love beeds for your rosary 
         D                G 
And your drugs to see you through 
       D 
You're telling me 
   A 
At seventeen 
    G                D 
You know more than I do

[Verso 5]
 
Bm               A 
 Say farewell to L.A 
         D              G 
And your little coat of blue 
       D 
'Cause meanwhile 
        A 
Back in Memphis, girl 
    G              D 
Our mama prays for you 
 


[Verso 6]
 
Bm                A 
 All the way from Memphis, babe 
   D                   G 
In search of something new 
    D 
You tell me now 
   A 
At seventeen 
    G                D 
You know more than I do
