Alone In Memphis

G G C C

[Verse 1]
G                          C
When I am gone, I know the waiting 
gets to you
              G
It's like the world stopped turning
You're frozen, no one seems to 
C
notice the absence of the wind
Am                             C 
I know you're lonely, it's the 
                    G
kind lonely I feel out here

[Chorus]
                 C                 
I don't wanna be alone in Memphis, 
                 Em          
I don't wanna be alone in New 
 D
Orleans
              C                    
I don't wanna dwell in cheap 
        Em                D
motels, dirty sheets and hourly 
rates,
                     C           
I just wanna put the pedal to the 
                    Em             
floor, burn up the stage like an 
       D
old troubadour

            C                  
I wanna get stoned, but I don't 
                                 G
wanna be alone in Memphis anymore


[Verse 2]
G                                  
And I've been down, in Mississippi 
C
river towns for far too long
G
There's something about the night 
life, something about this bar
        C                          
There's something in the music, the
                             Am
 brass, the drum beat like a heart
   C                            
It reminds of your eyes and coal 
       G          Am        
black hair, I am growing ever 
   C            G
lonelier out here


[Chorus]
                 C                 
I don't wanna be alone in Memphis, 
                 Em          
I don't wanna be alone in New 
 D
Orleans
              C                    
I don't wanna dwell in cheap 
        Em                D
motels, dirty sheets and hourly 
rates,
                     C           
I just wanna put the pedal to the 
                    Em             
floor, burn up the stage like an 
       D

            C                  
I wanna get stoned, but I don't 
                                 G
wanna be alone in Memphis anymore


[Chorus]
                 C                 
I don't wanna be alone in Memphis, 
                 Em          
I don't wanna be alone in New 
 D

            C                  
I wanna get stoned, but I don't 
                                 G
