Back To Memphis Chords by Chuck Berry

_ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Fm] I've been struggling, a cat child trying to make a living. _ _ _
They want to take nobody like Skibbins. _ _
I [Bb] wish I was in Memphis back home there with my mama. _ _
The only [Fm] clothes I got left that ain't rags is my pajamas. _ _
No [C] brotherly love, no help, and no danger. _ _
[F] Just a great big town full of cold-hearted strangers. _ _
[Fm] I went hungry in New York and Chicago, I know better. _ _
But today, my dear mother wrote and told me in a letter, _ _
son, come [Bb] on back to Memphis and live here with your mama. _ _
[Fm] You can walk down [F] Ville Street, honey, wearing your pajamas.
_ _ [Fm]
[C] You know, old folks, yeah, we let you do just what you wanted. _ _
[Fm] And I bond you and raise you right here on the corner. _ _ _
_ _ Ooh. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
[Bb] _ _ [Bbm] _ _ _ _ _ _
[Fm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Fm] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ [Bb] [Fm] I'm going to leave here in the morning,
[F] walk down [Fm] to the station. _ _
That's enough money to pay my transportation. _ _ _
[Bb] I'm going back to Memphis, back home with my mama. _ _ _ _
[Fm] _ I put it in pajamas. _ _ _
Back home [F] in Memphis, no moaning [C] and groaning. _ _ _
[Fm] Everything will be all right in the morning. Ooh. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
