Southern United States
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ I had a dream I was standing
_ _ Under the Memphis moon
_ _ With William Blake hanging
_ [G]
Across [D] the creek
_ And his father _ _ was a sailor _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _
Who left his mother young
And [G] since she dressed him the [D] same _
He took after his [D] father
[G] Without their last name
[D] _ _
A Welshman _ from _ Tennessee _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Yes, he [G] spoke with an [D] accent _
That resembled no _ other
[G] He was cut from the [D] cloth _
[G] When he showed me his [D] daughter _
Oh, [A] Lily _ was _
[D] a rose _ _ _
_ _ _ Married into [G] money
_ [D] Oh, but it only [G] changed her clothes
[D] _ And [G] then she found [D] out _ _
[G] But everybody [D] knows
She was a soul
And with her eyes half closed
And her hands arisen
[G] She leaned in to [D] talk _ _
And I leaned in to listen _
[G] She said those political [D] songs _
They're worth listening to
_ And _ _ _ _ _
I [A] woke _ [D] _ at the wheel _ _ _
_ _ _ _ With the [G] wind _ [D] blowing radio
[G] _ Fluttering [D] in my ears
[G] I was following [D] my heart
[G] Like I hadn't for [D] years
But I put on Lou Reed's Berlin
_ I _ _ _ _ _ had a [G] friend once
[D] That asked me [G] who [D] needs Berlin
Oh, I said [G] I guess it just [D] depends
On _
[G] the state [D] you're in
I was stopped _ at the border
_ I _ _ _ _ don't know what it is
[G] They thought I [D] had _ _
But by the end I'd had it _
[G] Low [D] taxes draw
Coming [G] over the static
[D] _ _
[G] I looked up at the [D] Brislin stars _
And it looked so sad it was _
