MEMPHIS MIDNIGHT/MEMPHIS MORNING
ERIC TAYLOR

Capo III

 Bm              Daug        D
THE SUN SHE WENT DOWN LIKE A CURTAIN
 Bm                Daug      D
LORD MEMPHIS LOOKS BIGGER AT NIGHT
       G         A             Bm
ALL THE TATTOOED BOYS IN THEIR UNIFORMS
             G      A          G
THEY STEPPED IN AND OUT OF THE LIGHT   

SHE BOUGHT ME GOOD WHISKEY IN MEMPHIS
SHE BOUGHT SUPPER AND PAID FOR THE ROOM
AND AS BEST AS I CAN REMEMBER
SHE PAID DEARLY FOR LOVING ME TOO

         C         G               D
SHE SAID HEY DON’T YOU KNOW ME NOW AIN’T YOU THE ONE
    C            G          D
THE ONE WITH THE GUITAR AND ALL THEM SAD SONGS
     C
ABOUT MEN IN THE RAIN
     G                       D
DID YOU EVER MISS A PLANE TO MEMPHIS

WELL WE LAUGHED AT THE STRANGERS WE WERE IN THE BED
THE TWO CIGARETTES THAT LIT UP THE ROOM
JUST LIKE TWO BACKSEAT LOVERS CAN’T WAIT TO GET STARTED
AND EVERYTHING’S OVER TOO SOON

NOW MEMPHIS AIN’T BAD IN THE MORNING
GOOD COFFEE, HELL, IT’S JUST HARD TO FIND
BUT LET ME SUGGEST THAT YOU NEVER LEAVE MEMPHIS
WITH ANYTHING ON YOUR MIND

PLAY TWICE:

SHE SAID HEY DON’T YOU KNOW ME NOW AIN’T YOU THE ONE
THE ONE WITH THE GUITAR AND ALL THEM SAD SONGS
ABOUT MEN IN THE RAIN
AND DID YOU EVER MISS A PLANE TO MEMPHIS
