I met a gin-soaked, bar-room queen in Memphis
G                    A9             D   D4  D
She tried to take me upstairs for a ride
     G                                C      C4  C
She had to heave me right across her shoulder

'cause I just can't seem to drink you off my mind

I laid a divorcee in New York City

The lady then she covered in roses
      G                D                G  G9  G
She blew my nose and then she blew my mind
