‘Cause Gwhen the Dmnight comes down with a thudding crash
My Amjeans become a gown with a silver sashG

A E7hoot owl sounds its Ameerie rhyme
I E7guess it’s been around for a Amlong, long time
And E7while it sings its Amhaunting tune
I’m gonna D7dance by the light E7of the   F  E7Memphis Ammoon
[Interlude]
Am     G Am     G

The Amstars all yell, and the willows sighG  
DmDeep as death, oh, the Mighty Mississip’
Just Amrollin’ along like she’s takin’ a tripG  
[Chorus]
E7Makin’ her rounds in her Ammuddy shoes

Midnight fever’s gonna Amhit me soon
I’m gonna D7dance by the light E7of the   F  E7Memphis Ammoon

Time dances slow to the rhythm of my feet
AmThe moon hangs low over Beale Street
[Chorus]
A E7hoot owl sounds its Ameerie rhyme
I E7guess it’s been around for a Amlong, long time
And E7while it sings its Amhaunting tune
I’m gonna D7dance by the light E7of the   F  E7Memphis Ammoon
