G C F G
You Ctry so hard to be a Fmystery, a Clady never shows her cGards.
The Cwords you speak say yFou love me, but Cthe tone of your voice saGys it's hard.
Love me to pAmieces, you left me spFeechless.
I'm fighting Amfair, but baby I know your Gweakness
So let's go to FMemphis on the rCiver at that sGpecial place we know.
YFou can wear your emCerald dress that makGes your red hair glow.
We'll drink wFhiskey mixed with moConlight like the water's sGteady flow.
MFemphis on the river, that's Cwhere I wanna go
I Cdon't pretend to have the aFnswers, as iCf the questions weren't Genough.
BuCt let's just say the Fmore you share, bCeggin me to call your Gbluff.
It's just six Amoclock, baby don't you Fstop.
Leave Nashville Amnow, and I'll leave Little GRock
We'll go to MeFmphis on the rCiver at that speGcial place we know.
YoFu can wear your eCmerald dress that maGkes your red hair glow.
We'll drink wFhiskey mixed with mCoonlight like the waGter's steady flow.
FMemphis on the river, that's where I waCnna go
LAmovin soothes our hGearts, likAme slow heat in thGe dark.
AmWith an old song plFaying, thaAmt echoes just what GI'm saying, babe
MeFmphis on the rCiver at that speGcial place we know.
YoFu can wear your eCmerald dress that mGakes your red hair glow.
We'll drink wFhiskey mixed with mCoonlight like the wGater's steady flow.

We're goin to FMemphis on the rCiver.
Go to GMemphis on the river, child.
MemFphis on the rivCer, baby, riGver, baby.
CoFme on let's go, Cit won't take long
GMeet me down in Memphis
