Capo 2


       D              G            D
If you love somebody enough you'll follow where ever they go
                    Em       G                   D
That's how I got to Memphis, that's how I got to Memphis
       D              G            D  
If you love somebody enough you'll go where your heart wants to go
                    Em      G                    D
That's how I got to Memphis, that's how I got to Memphis


Chorus 1:
  A                              G                         D
I know if you've seen her you'll tell me `cause you are my friend
A                        G                          D    A
I've got to find her and find out the trouble she's in
            D                      G               D
Well if you tell me that she's not here, I'll just follow the trail of her tears
                    Em      G                    D
That's how I got to Memphis, that's how I got to Memphis


She would get mad and she used to sayshe would come back to Memphis some day
That's how I got to Memphis, that's how I got to Memphis
Mmmmm I haven't eaten a bite or slept for 3 days and nights
That's how I got to Memphis, that's how I got to Memphis

Chorus 2:
Oh I've got to find her and tell her that I love her so
And I'll never rest until I find out why she had to go --- ooo
Well thank you for your precious time, and forgive me if I start to cry
That's how I got to Memphis, that's how I got to Memphis
