[D] [Bm] [A] Some old [G] hotel room in Memphis I [Bm] [A] see the city [G] through the rain
[Bm] [A] I'm [G] just chasing [D] me my [Em] time And remembering [A] some pain
[Bm] You [A] see there once [G] was a boy [Bm] [A] And on the [G] street he'd surely die
[Bm]
[A] So the night [G] bird [D] took [Em] him in And she taught him how to [A] fly
See the [G] night birds softly fly Why does she [D] fly alone?
Is the [E] moonlight just a flame?
[C] [G] For her memory [D] now she's gone
[A]
[Bm] [D] Two bit [G] bars and honky tonks
[A] [Bm] A [A] pleasure [G] can be found
[Bm] You [D] can get [G] just [D] what you [Em] want If you lay [A] your money down
[Bm] And [A] lonely [G] sailors do their drinking [D] [Bm] My, [D] how the [G] brave men do die
[Bm] And [D] the night [G] bird
[D] sells [G] her pleasures Bringing [A] tears to my eyes

moonlight just a flame?
[C] [G] For her [D] memory now she's gone
