Just hammer on the low E string in the second fret to lead into the A chords
in the verses and chorus. Other than that there’s no real solos or anything.
[Intro]
A  F#m  A  F#m
ALooking back on everything and F#mall the things that stay
AI can count on memories ‘F#mcause they don’t go away
AGood times were hard to hold F#muntil she came along
DShe moves me like a EMemphis soul Asong
AI’m not always there I know but F#mshe don’t mind at all
AAs pretty as a picture that F#mhangs on my own wall
AShe’s like Mississippi when the F#msun comes up at dawn
DShe moves me like a EMemphis soul Asong
EWith an angel on my left side and a Ddevil on my Aright
EShe’s the one who saves me from those Ddark unholy Anights
DOf all the one’s who’ve left me it’s a wonder Eshe’s not F#mgone
DShe moves me like a EMemphis soul Asong
DShe moves me like a EMemphis soul Asong
AShe don’t care what the game is F#mshe’s always down to play
AMy world without her seems a F#mmillion miles away
AShe don’t have to worry I F#mknow where I belong
DShe moves me like a EMemphis soul Asong
AI've been dealt some aces and I’ve F#mplayed them all the same
ABut she’s the only one that F#mkeeps me in the game
ANo fame or fortune could F#mever keep me gone
DShe moves me like a EMemphis soul Asong
EWith an angel on my left side and a Ddevil on my Aright
EShe’s the one who saves me from those Ddark unholy Anights
DOf all the one’s who’ve left me it’s a Awonder she’s not F#mgone
DShe moves me like a EMemphis soul Asong
GThere’s a magic down in Memphis that Anever seems to fade
GEven now them voices carry like a Alonely serenade
DIt’s the memories that still and Aalways will be on my mind
EmThey move me every Etime
AShe sees the Bmgood in everything there is to see
BmSometimes I wonder what she ever sees in me
AI’m not always right you Bmknow but she’s never led me wrong
DShe moves me like a EMemphis soul Asong
AIn all my travels I’ve F#mnever found a way
ATo find the words that say F#mthe things I’d like to say
AI’ve sang some melodies but F#mshe’s my favorite one
DShe moves me like a EMemphis soul Asong
EWith an angel on my left side and a Ddevil on my Aright
EShe’s the one who saves me from those Ddark unholy Anights
BmOf all the one’s who’ve left me Dit’s a Awonder she’s not F#mgone
DShe moves me like a EMemphis soul Asong
DShe moves me like a EMemphis soul Asong
