Capo 3

G                    C
If you love somebody enough
       G
You'll follow wherever they go
                    Am
That's how I got to Memphis
C                   G                 
That's how I got to Memphis

If you love somebody enough
You'll go where your heart wants to go
That's how I got to Memphis
That's how I got to Memphis


Bridge:
  D
I know if you've seen him
      C                        G
You'd tell me cause you are my friend
D
I've got to find him
    C                         G
And find out the trouble he's in


       G                C
If you tell me he's not here
        G          G/F#        Em     D
You can follow the trail of my tears
       C            Am
That's how I got to Memphis
C                   G
That's how I got to Memphis


Capo up to 4th fret or go up 1/2 step to G#

He'd get mad and he used to say
He'd go back and find her someday
That's how I got to Memphis
That's how I got to Memphis

I haven't eaten a bite
Or slept for three days and nights
That's how I got to Memphis
That's how I got to Memphis


That's how I got to Memphis
That's how I got to Memphis
That's how I got to Memphis
That's how I got up to Memphis
