Oh, IF#'ve been down to Memphis 
It's where my family goes to die 
And aBs they all end up there 
So shall F#I

Struck up my last match
But the eBnd ain't coming fast enough

CF#atch me in the movies
Sleeping in my dirty clothes
If you aBsk me what I'm watching
Who kF#nows
GF#ot me a rich uncle

So, I gBuess I gotta make that money

Oh, I've been down to Memphis

It's where my family goes to die

And as they all end up there

So shall I

Used my lucky dollar

Struck up my last match

But the end ain't coming fast enough

to catch

C# B F#

And if, at first, you don't choose right, choose again

C# B F#

Oh, my son, you're a sorry sight, choose again

Catch me in the movies

Sleeping in my dirty clothes

If you ask me what I'm watching

Who knows

Got me a rich uncle

Can't ask for a loan

So, I guess I gotta make that money

on my own

C# B F#

And if, at first, you don't choose right, choose again

C# B F#

Oh, my son, you're a sorry sight, choose again

[play the final F# of the chorus on the 9th fret on the A string

to give you enough room to descend all the way down to E]

E D# B A

G# F# E B

Heaven ain't got no place for me

But there's plenty of beds in hell

If you ask me how I'm doing

Not so well

Down with every symptom

Cherish every cough

And if you pass me that old bottle,

I'll polish it off

F# E B

And if, at first, you don't choose right, choose again

F# E B

Oh, my son, you're a sorry sight, choose again

F# E B

And if, at first, you don't choose right, choose again

F# E B

All your troubles will hold you tight, choose again
