[E] [B]
[C#m] [A] So [E] remember that crackle, the needle [B] laying down,
[C#m] Stainin' the glass in the chapel [A] as we laid him in the ground
And [E] feet start shufflin', honey [B] mine start runnin'
[C#m] Yeah, I run that Mississippi [A] to my feet in Tennessee ground
Just [E] like he told me, never [B] pray for change
That old [A] Memphis rain
[E] [A] Now [D#] my [E] nightmares, mama, been [B] keepin' me awake
Never [C#m] knew what the blues could do to a [A] boy
That was givin' everything it takes
Now the [E] Cadillacs hummin'
And my [B] heart starts bumpin'
[C#m] And there ain't no doubt that there's no way [A] out
From everything I ever wanted, the [E] pills and the pain
Never [B] pray for change
That old [A] Memphis rain

And they [B] marched that way
I [C#m] can still see that old A-frame [A] kickin' back off of that [E] big lake
I still go there, to the [B] middle of nowhere
[C#m] It's a lifetime left for me, gotta [A] build it up to what it oughta be
Just [E] like he told me, never [B] pray for change
