[E] [Abm]
[G]
Long [D] distance information, give me Memphis, Tennessee.
Help me find the party, try to get in touch with me.
[G] She could not leave her number, but I know who placed the call.
My [D] uncle took the message and he wrote [G] it on the wall.
[D] Help me information, get in touch with my Marie.
She's the only one who would phone me here from Memphis, Tennessee.
[G] Her home is on the south side, high up on a ridge,
[D] just a half a mile from the [G] Mississippi River.

[C] [D] [G]
[D] Help me information, more than that I cannot add,
only that I miss her and all the fun we had.
[G] But we were pulled apart because her mom did not agree,
[D] tore apart our happy home in Memphis, [G] Tennessee.
[D] Last time I saw Marie, she was waving me goodbye.
With her rehomed, her ups or her cheeks, that trickled from her eye.
[G] Marie is only six years old.
Information, please, [D] try to put me through to her in Memphis, [G] Tennessee.
[D]
