Chords for Tommy Castro & The Painkillers -- Make It Back to Memphis

That's cool.
I better be down there just in case I win something.
Just in case.
I really wasn't [D] counting on that.
I just thought I better be there just in case, you know.
[N] So, it turned out that year they were holding the Blues Music Awards in Tunica, Mississippi.
They usually have them in Memphis.
I don't know why [D] they were in Tunica.
But you still had to fly into Memphis [B] to get there, right?
An old friend of mine that lives in Memphis agreed to drive me
[E] and my old friend Keith Crosson down [E] to Tunica from Memphis Airport
in this old Cadillac car.
Cool old vintage Cadillac.
I said, [D] well that's great man.
Beat one of those god damn airport [B] shuttles, you know.
So, he took us down there.
Turns out [G] we won a couple of awards.
[E] Come on back.
[C] We're driving back with my friend Ray [Dm] in his Cadillac.
We're going up Highway 61 from Tunica, Mississippi to Memphis.
[E] You've got to think about this.

[E]
I play the blues for a [F] living.
[E] I'm in Mississippi.
I'm on my way to Memphis.
All these places where all that [A] music comes from that I worship [D] and changed my life.
I'm thinking [G] about this as I'm driving up [E] the road in Ray's old [N] Cadillac car.
I got Blues Music Awards under my belt.
I just said, what a group.
I [A] said to myself, you better remember that time in California.
[F] That's a feeling you want to remember this because [N] it might be a song or something in it.
Right about that time I looked at Ray's gas gauge and it was empty.
It said empty.
That's why I know it's going to be a blues song. _
Then I asked him the musical question.

Nine thousand.
_ _ [E] But then I'm living on a home on a mask and a [A] Texas hold up.
I [E] shouldn't listen to my [B] ex.
I don't get [E] that at all, no.
