[B]
[Em] We've been [N] here for a long time, and I expect you to be here.
It's such a long time, I feel like drinking a good wine.
It's such a long time, I'd like to introduce him to you.
Very close to us on piano, Mr.
Richard Manuel.
On bass, Mr.
Rick Tedko.
The incredible man on the organ, Mr.
Thor Parson.
[E]
[N] On guitar, Mr.
Robbie Robertson.
He came in on drums, it's illegal in hell.
Very, very nice to meet you, you all play a band.

I got left in a rag in my pajamas.
[E] There ain't no brotherly love, and no help, and no danger.
[A] Just a great big town full of cold-hearted strangers.
I went hungry in New York, Chicago wasn't no better.
But [F#m] today my dear mother wrote and showed [A] me in a letter.
[D] Said, come on back to Memphis and lay up here with your mama.
You [A] can walk down Beale Street running wearing your pajamas.
[E] There's no folks down here that let you do just like they wanna.
[A] And I born you and raised you right here on the corner.
Thank you.

I'm gonna get up in the morning going to the bus station.
Just enough money, you know, to reach my destination.
[D] I'm going back to Memphis, back home to my mama.
[A] I'm gonna ride that fastboard in my pajamas.
[E]
Back to Memphis, no morning in the corner.
[Em] I [A] know everything will be alright in the morning.
