Help me fight [F#m] party and try to get in [B] touch with me
[E] She could not leave number, but I know who placed the call
Thought Martha [B] took the message and he wrote it on [E] the wall
Help [B] me
Touch with my Marie.
She's the only one who called him Memphis, Tennessee

Hi, I'll follow Ria just just a half [B] a mile from the Mississippi

very home drops on
That trickle from right, [E] but we were pulled apart because the mom did not agree
And fall apart [B] our happy home in Memphis, [E] Tennessee
