Help me find a party, trying to get in touch with me.
[Eb] She could not leave a number, but I know who placed the call.
[Bb] My uncle took [Fm] the message [Bb] and he wrote [Eb] it on the wall.
[Bb] Help me information, get in touch with my marine.
Only one who'd phone me here from Memphis, Tennessee.
[Ab] [Eb] My home is on the south side of the High Point Ridge, [Bb]
just a half a mile from the Mississippi [Eb] Bridge.

[Gm] in Memphis, [Eb] Tennessee.

down when he's [C] showing it.
