[D] [B] [E]
[B] Long distance information, give me Memphis, Tennessee.
Help me find the party that tried to get in touch with me.
[E] She could not leave a number, but I know who placed the call.
Thought Mom took [B] the message and they wrote it on [E] the wall.
[B] Help me information, get in touch with my Marie.
She's the only one who called me from Memphis, Tennessee.
[E] Her home is on the south side, high up on the ridge.
Just a half [B] a mile from the Mississippi [E] Bridge.

[B] Last time I saw Marie, she was waving me goodbye.
If her e-home drive saw that she'd got trickled from her eye,
[E] we would pull apart because her mom did not agree.
And tore apart [B] our happy home in Memphis, [E] Tennessee.
[B] Help me information, more than that I cannot add.
Only that I'll miss her and all the fun we had.
[E]
Marie is only six years old.
Information, please try to put [B] me through to her in Memphis, [Em] Tennessee.
