[E] _ _ _ I knew [B] _ [F#m] I needed a change [B] I [F#m] _ _ _
_ head out on the highway _
_ Cruisin' way down south
I [E] knew a little place [B] where I might could work it [F#m] over
_ I'm _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ so [E] tired of fightin' with [F#m] myself _ _ _ _ _
[Bm] Gonna spend a little [E] time [C#] at the _ Tunicum [A] Motel
_ [C#] _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ [F#m] _ _ _ _ _
_ Just outside of Memphis, _ _ Highway _ 61 _ _
_ [E] Sleepy little town [B] down by the [F#m] Mississippi River

I'm gonna lay out on a houseboat
[B] _ [F#m] Till my heart turn brown _

_ _ [E] _ [F#m] _ _ _ [B] I [F#m] find myself [F#] at midnight _
Movin' to the back porch blues
[Em] The guitar cries, [B] tellin' me about [F#m] the heart attack _ _ _ _ _
Somethin' moves in the shadows _
Givin' me a little chill
I [E] thought I saw Robert Johnson [B] walkin' out across the [F#m] field _ _ _ _ _
[D] There ain't hardly anybody [E] left who even knows [F#m] the tale
