When I'm [F] going down to Memphis, putting my [Fm] heart in [Fm] my hands
Find me a frisky woman that will need a loving man
I'm gonna [Bb] tell her [Fm] what she [Bb] wants to [Fm] hear
I'll be [Bb] a kiss to her [Fm] soft bone, no
Yes, I'm going down to Memphis, ain't got too far to go
[F] [Fm]
I'll be beating around them bushes, [Gm] searching [Fm]
everywhere
It's all about them [Bb] Memphis [F] girls, yeah, [Bb] [Fm]
everywhere
They can [Bb] spread their [Fm] wings around me, [Bb] let the [Fm] blue blow
Yes, I'm going down to Memphis, ain't got too far to go
Ain't no gate to his home out that way, no [Bb] crossroads [Fm] I can see
I'll be going down to Memphis, Memphis Tennessee
[Bb] [Fm] With all the heaven loving women, the reason that I know

Well, I'm going down to Memphis, ain't got too far to go
