[Em] Walk across the room in [D] a [Em] neon light Dark pale shades [D] [Em] blocking out the night
[A] [Em] Smoke rings blowing, [E] [Em] white owl panatella There wasn't a thing that man couldn't tell ya
He [B] kept a .45
in a crown royal bag [A] Wiped the fingerprints off, handed me the [Fm] rag
[Em] I'm never going back to Memphis I'm never going back to Memphis
A little [E] while later, [Em] the sirens started screaming [F#m] It [Bm] [Em] felt like a nightmare, [B] but you [E] know I wasn't dreaming
[Em]
Cops walked in, [A#] dog [E] pulling on a chain [G] Looking [D]
[E] for a woman, running from the rain
[Em]
[B] They sat out crying, eating fried chicken While [A] I shivered in a shed, out behind the kitchen
[Em] I'm never going back to Memphis [G] I'm [Em]
never going back to Memphis
So don't [B] ask where, [C] cause I'm never going [B] back to Memphis [C] [Em] again
[A] [Em]
[D] [Em]
The river is rising, sky's [E] getting darker [G] My [Em] mind keeps playing, some old Junior Parker
[E]
[A] Three [G] days waiting, all alone by the tracks [Em]
Lying to myself, that man's coming back
[B] He said he'd come around, unless he was dead [A] Guess he took another woman or a bullet in the [Em] head
I'm never going back to Memphis I'm never going back to Memphis
So don't [B] ask where, [C] cause I'm never going [B] back to [Em] Memphis again
